Osama Krayem is already serving long prison sentences for his role in the Paris and Brussels attacks in 2015 and 2016

A Stockholm court on Thursday handed down a life term to Swedish jihadist Osama Krayem over the murder of a Jordanian pilot burned alive by Islamic State (IS) group in Syria, which sparked international outrage in 2015.

The Swedish court was the first to try a person over the infamous killing.

Judge Anna Liljenberg Gullesjo said in a statement that “the investigation has shown that the defendant was at the execution site, uniformed and armed, and allowed himself to be filmed”.
