Palestinian teens sentenced to jail over knife attacks

An Israeli court sentenced three Palestinian teenagers to more than a decade in prison Monday for stabbing Israelis, including a 14-year-old involved in one of the most high-profile attacks.

The sentences drew criticism from the Palestinian Authority and rights activists who said the youths should not be given such long jail terms.
