A Frankfurt court Thursday sentenced repentant terrorist Hans-Joachim Klein to nine years' imprisonment for his part in a bloody hostage-taking led by "Carlos the Jackal" at an OPEC conference in 1975. 

Klein, 53, was accused of murder after three people were killed in the spectacular attack in Vienna.
