Judge sentences Chicago man to 10 years for jihad plot
(MCT) CHICAGO—A federal judge sentenced a Chicago man on Tuesday to nearly 10 years in prison for planning to wage jihad in Somalia for a terrorist group connected to al-Qaida, saying his willingness to die in a suicide mission was “disturbing to this court.”
Shaker Masri, 29, a native U.S. citizen of Syrian descent, pleaded guilty in July to attempting to provide material support to the Somali group al-Shabaab, which is designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization.
