A 23-year-old U.S. man was found guilty Wednesday by a federal jury in Atlanta, Ga. of supporting terror groups by sending videos of U.S. landmarks abroad and plotting “violent jihad” in Europe.
Ehsanul Islam Sadequee could face up to 60 years in prison after he was convicted on four counts of providing material support to terrorism.
Sadequee and his co-conspirators developed relationships over the Internet and maintained contact online, along with other “supporters of violent jihad”, among other places in Bosnia as well.
U.S. prosecutors said Sadequee, during his stay in Bangladesh, “began to conspire more closely” with Tsouli and Mirsad Bektasevic, a Bosnian-born Muslim with Swedish citizenship who was convicted in 2007 for trying to blow up a European target.
The trio, along with others, formed a violent militant group called “Al Qaeda in Northern Europe” that was to be based in Sweden and focus on attacking European targets.
