Two U.S. women were each sentenced Friday to more than a decade in prison for conspiracy to provide material support to al Shabaab, a foreign terrorist organization.

Muna Osman Jama, 36, of Reston, Va., was sentenced to 12 years, while Hinda Osman Dhirane, 46, of Kent, Wash., received an 11-year sentence, according to a Justice Department press release issued Friday evening. Both were found guilty following a bench trial before U.S. District Judge Anthony J. Trenga on Oct. 25.
