The Stockholm District Court on Thursday sentenced Swedish national Osama K. to life in prison for his role in the 2015 murder of a Jordanian pilot who was burned alive by the “Islamic State” (IS) militant group in Syria.
K. was found guilty of participating in the execution by helping to force the pilot into a metal cage ahead of one of the militant group’s most infamous murders. The conviction is the first of anyone tried over the high-profile execution.
