Swedish man convicted for his role in 2015 killing of a Jordanian pilot by Daesh group

STOCKHOLM: A Swedish man was convicted and sentenced to life in prison on Thursday for his role in the 2015 killing of a Jordanian pilot by the Daesh militant group, Swedish media reported. The 26-year-old Jordanian, 1st Lt. Mu’ath Al-Kaseasbeh, was taken captive after his F-16 fighter jet crashed near the extremists’ de facto capital of Raqqa in northern Syria. He was forced into a cage that was set on fire in early 2015. The suspect, identified by Swedish prosecutors as Osama Krayem, 32, is alleged to have traveled to Syria in September 2014 to fight for Daesh.
