A New York man who provided assistance to the Islamic State terror group was sentenced Friday to life in prison.
The Islamic State terror group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, was formally defeated in Syria in 2019. Mirsad Kandic, 41, who spread the terror group's propaganda and fought alongside its members has been sentenced to life in prison.
Prosecutors said Kandic recruited people from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and elsewhere to travel to Syria and Iraq and join ISIS battles. He allegedly told an associate online that he worked in Turkey in the Islamic State's border office as part of a team that conducted background checks of foreign fighters who wanted to go to Syria.
He spread ISIS propaganda using more than 120 Twitter accounts, through which he posted videos of ISIS captives, including some in which victims were forced to dig their own graves before being executed. He sent thousands offrom Western countries to ISIS-controlled territories in Syria and the Middle East.
Authorities said Kandic assisted Jake Bilardi, an 18-year-old Australian citizen who died in a suicide bomb attack west of Baghdad in March 2015. Bilardi
