Two Miami men cast as lesser players in a plot to destroy Chicago's Sears Tower and bomb FBI offices were sentenced to prison Wednesday in Miami federal court.

U.S. District Judge Joan Lenard sentenced Burson Augustin, 24, to six years in prison and his brother Rotschild Augustine, 26, to seven years. Prosecutors sought 30-year sentences for both. Three other men will be sentenced Thursday and Friday.

The five were convicted in May of supporting al Qaeda, conspiring to wage war on the United States and other charges. There were two mistrials, and two other men were acquitted.
