On Thursday, aSwedish court sentenced ISIS member Osama Krayem to life in prison for his rolein the killing of Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasasbeh, who was burned alive bythe extremist group in Syria in 2015.
Al-Kasasbeh wascaptured by ISIS on December 24, 2014, after a Jordanian F-16 crashed nearRaqqa during a mission as part of the US-led Coalition campaign against thegroup.
In a statement bythe Stockholm District Court, Judge Anna Liljenberg Gullesjo stated that thedefendant was present at the site of the execution, wearing military clothingand armed, adding that he consented to being filmed and played a decisive rolein the events that led to the victim’s death.
This marks thefirst time a court has issued a verdict in connection with al-Kasasbeh’s murderin February 2015, when ISIS released a propaganda video showing the Jordanianpilot locked in a cage and set on fire.
The court concludedthat Krayem, 32, helped guard al-Kasasbeh before and during the execution,transported him to the cage, and remained armed while filming took place.Although another ISIS militant is believed to have lit the fire, the courtfound his role essential and grounds for conviction.
According to DW, Krayem traveled to Syria in September 2014 to join ISIS and later tookpart in the November 2015 Paris attacks that killed 130 people and the March2016 Brussels bombings that left 32 dead.
Krayem wassentenced to 30 years in prison after being convicted on charges ranging fromcomplicity to murder. French media reported that France agreed last March toextradite Krayem to Sweden for investigation and trial.
