A Detroit-area man who was captured on a Syrian battlefield in 2018 fighting for Islamic State has been sentenced to 14 years in prison.
Ibraheem Izzy Musaibli of Dearborn was convicted in January of providing support to a designated terrorist organization.
Musaibli, 32, traveled to Yemen in 2015 and continued his research into Islamic State, including downloading propaganda from the group and a book on how to get into Syria, according to trial evidence. Musaibli’s sentence is far short of the 35-year term requested by prosecutors. Defense attorneys sought a 10-year prison term. Musaibli will get credit for five years spent in custody since being charged.
