Simon Mann sentenced to 34 years

Simon Mann, the mercenary tied to the weirdly named arms for hire firm Executive Outcomes, was sentenced to 34 years for his part in trying to stage the Eq. Guinea coup.

The attorney general in Equatorial Guinea says he now wants to extradite Mark Thatcher and Eli Kalil.
