Two US men convicted of plotting to aid terrorists by filming landmarks and sending the clips abroad have been given lengthy prison sentences.

Ehsanul Islam Sadequee was jailed for 17 years, three years less than the prosecution had requested. Sadequee, 23, also went to Bangladesh to meet terrorist cells and tried to help a Pakistani militant group. His friend and co-defendant, 24-year-old Syed Haris Ahmed, got 13 years in prison and 30 years supervised release.
