One of the proofs have become of the transcripts, which said, “it would be nice to die on the battlefield”.
The Federal court in the U.S. city of Santa Ana (Calif.) on Wednesday was sentenced to 30 years in prison a local resident Muhanad Badawi for trying to support terrorist group “Islamic state” (IG, is prohibited in Russia).
Badawi after his release from custody will be under special supervision of the authorities during the whole life. Such punishment was required for the 25-year-old man prosecutors. Lawyers pointed to the fact that Badawi is still young and in the past had not committed a crime. They asked the court that their client was not sentenced to imprisonment lasting more than 15 years.
Badawi and his co-defendant Nader al-Huzeil was arrested by FBI agents in may last year on suspicion of conspiracy to provide material support to ISIS. In June this year, the court in orange County found them guilty.
According to prosecutors, Badawi has allowed al-Huzaili to purchase using his credit card ticket one-way from Los Angeles to tel-Aviv with a stopover in Istanbul. Al-Huzail after his detention at the airport of Los Angeles acknowledged that gathered in Istanbul to get off the aircraft, then to join the militants.
Badawi allegedly also planned soon to go to the middle East to join the group.
Part of their plans, the men announced in social networks and attracted the attention of law enforcement. Authorities also intercepted a number of telephone conversations in which Americans have expressed the desire to fight with the infidels and to “die on the battlefield”.
Al-Huzail in September, was also sentenced to 30 years in prison.
