A court in Pristina -- the capital of Kosovo -- today (May 20, 2016) sentenced seven men to prison terms for up to 10 years after finding them guilty of being part of the Islamic State (IS) radical group, according to the Inserbia website.
The main defendant, Imam Zekeria Qazimi, was jailed for 10 years for recruiting young Kosovars to go and fight in Syria for the IS.
Qazimi had been the imam at the El-Kuddus mosque in Gjilan, Kosovo when he was arrested in August 2014.
Evidence leading to his conviction included a video from 2013 in which Qazimi said: "The blood of infidels is the best drink for us."
