Yesterday, an Austrian court sentenced a 29-year-old man to 29 years in prison for trying to kill his ex-wife with a home-made bomb last year.
According to the agency, "Agence France Presse," the victim, 27, a mother of three, was seriously wounded in the attack in October.
The explosive device was detonated (in the form of a package) when the woman picked it up in front of her apartment in the town of Gottaring in the state of Carinthia in southern Austria.
A court in Klagenfurt, the capital of Carinthia, sentenced the ex-husband of the woman to 17 years and eight months in prison, and admitted him to a facility designated for mentally unstable offenders.
The court also sentenced his 29-year-old partner to 16 years in prison, to help him carry out the attack. Both men and the prosecution can appeal the verdict.
According to the court hearings, the partner, an army member, placed the parcel outside the woman's house, rang the doorbell and then fled.
Meanwhile, the ex-husband - who also served in the army in the past - was hiding nearby and detonated the device remotely.
