New York, Mar.3 (ANI): A federal court in Brooklyn has sentenced a New York resident to 27 years in prison for attempting to join al-Qaeda to avenge Muslim abuse.

 

According to a news24.com report, Betim Kaziu was sentenced on Friday after he was declared guilty of conspiracy to provide material support to a terrorist organisation. He also was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and other charges.

 

Prosecutors, however, had sought a life sentence for Kaziu

 

They claimed that he had tried, but failed to join al-Qaeda groups in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Balkans.

 

He eventually made his way to Kosovo, where he recorded what the government claimed was a farewell martyrdom video.

 

He also bought a plane ticket to Pakistan but was captured before making the trip. (ANI)
