French Jihadist Recruiter Handed Long Jail Term
|
 [AnNahar] A Frenchie has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for seeking to recruit dozens of youths to fight as jihadists in Syria and for leading a brigade of French-speaking Islamists in the war-torn country.
Mourad Fares,

and handed over to French authorities the same year.
Prosecutors said he played a "crucial" role in the recruiting of young people to fight as jihadists in Syria, and noted a lack of any "real regret" for his actions.
Fares appeared unmoved as the verdict was read out at a special court Friday evening.
He admitted to the court he "indirectly" recruited youths to fight as jihadists via his propaganda videos and "facilitated" the entry of a number of people into Syria.
He denied taking part in combat operations in Syria, where he travelled in 2014.
But prosecutors said he "participated in armed actions" with the Islamic State
 ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

front.
The court also found Fares guilty of leading this cell.
