N.Y. teen charged in Islamic State probe gets 20 months in prison
2016-08-10
[REUTERS] A New York City teenager accused last year of conspiring to provide support to Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
was sentenced on Tuesday to 20 months in prison after pleading guilty to a non-terrorism charge.

Imran Rabbani, 19, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Margo Brodie in Brooklyn after pleading guilty in April to having conspired to impede federal officers by force, intimidation and threat.

Rabbani, who was just 17 when he was tossed in the clink
... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not...
, agreed to the plea deal in exchange for dropping an appeal of a ruling that allowed him to be tried as an adult on a prior charge of conspiring to provide material support to Islamic State.

Rabbani, who will receive credit for the time he has served in jug since his June 2015 arrest, was also sentenced to a term of three years of supervised release following his release.

"I think it was a fair and just sentence by a thoughtful and careful judge," said his lawyer, Richard Willstatter.

More than 100 people have been charged since 2014 in U.S. federal cases related to the Islamic State bully boy group, which has seized control of parts of Iraq and Syria.
