A person who helped Islamic State by narrating recruitment movies has been sentenced to life in jail within the US.
Saudi-born Mohammed Khalifa was described by the US Department of Justice as a “leading figure” within the terrorist group’s English language media unit.
Prosecutors mentioned the unit produced movies equivalent to those exhibiting the beheadings of Western help employees and journalists, together with Britons Alan Henning and David Haines.
An announcement from the US Department of Justice mentioned Khalifa, a Canadian citizen, had offered the narration and translation for about 15 movies created and distributed by IS.
“The productions narrated by Khalifa embrace two of essentially the most influential and exceptionally violent ISIS propaganda movies Flames of War: Fighting Has Just Begun and Flames of War II: Until the Final Hour.
“The videos depict glamorized portrayals of ISIS and its fighters as well as scenes of violence, including depictions of unarmed prisoners being executed, footage of ISIS attacks and fighting and depictions of ISIS attacks in the United States.”
Khalifa, 38, was captured in January 2019 by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, following a firefight in Syria the place he was throwing grenades.
