Swedish jihadist jailed for life over IS murder of Jordanian pilot in Syria
Swedish jihadist receives life sentence for IS murder of Jordanian pilot in Syria. Jordanian air force pilot Lt Moaz al-Kasasbeh was captured and killed by ISIS in 2014, with video evidence of the brutal act released. Osama Krayem, already imprisoned for Paris and Brussels attacks, was found guilty of war crimes and terrorism for his involvement in the pilot's murder. The court in Stockholm held Krayem responsible for guarding the victim during the execution, resulting in a second life sentence for the 32-year-old jihadist.
