Ashraf Al Safoo from Chicago has been sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for conspiring to provide material support to the ISIS terrorist group, which involved recruiting members into the terror group and encouraging attacks on its enemies.
Al Safoo, 41, was a leader of the Khattab Media Foundation, an online organization that pledged allegiance to ISIS, the Department of Justice said in an April 17 press release. The foundation created and spread threats and ISIS propaganda online, including posts of pro-ISIS articles, videos, infographics, and essays by Al Safoo and other members in coordination with the terrorist outfit.
