A German court jailed a 31-year-old Islamist Tuesday for 42 months, for supporting a foreign terrorist group. He was the last of eight people tried for contributing material to the Global Islamic Media Front, a web portal that promotes jihadist views. All the others had earlier been released with suspended sentences or community-service orders.
Munich judges said police intercepts showed he made videos supporting al Qaeda in 2006 and 2007 and uploaded them to the portal. He was sentenced to prison time on the support-of-terrorism charge because he was the only one who followed his words with action, travelling as far as Tehran to enter a camp run by al Qaeda in Pakistan, but missing his contact in Iran.
