DUBAI: A court in the United Arab Emirates capital Abu Dhabi sentenced 13 people to jail terms on terrorism and spying charges including joining Islamic State, the state news agency WAM reported. Four defendants convicted of promoting terrorist organizations in the UAE received ten-year terms, and three others between 1 1/2 and seven years for allegedly joining Islamic State and al Qaeda´s former branch in Syria. Two others were convicted separately of sharing ?sensitive intelligence? and military information with an unspecified foreign country, which some local newspapers identified as Iran. The remaining cases alleged spreading false news about the UAE and showing a lack of respect for national symbols. All of the defendants appeared to originate from Arab countries other than the UAE.
