A 27-year-old American, who joined the Islamic State (IS) terror group in Syria and later claimed he escaped and fled into the hands of Kurdish troops after a "bad decision," was sentenced to 20 years in prison yesterday, the Times of Israel website reports today (October 28, 2017).
Mohamad Jamal Khweis left his job driving a bus for disabled people in northern Virginia in December 2015 to travel to IS's stronghold of Raqqa in Syria.
He spent about two and a half months as a member of IS, and prepared to become a suicide bomber.
A federal jury convicted Khweis on June 8 on all three charges against him.
