Ibraheem Izzy Musaibli Is One Of The ISIS Military

Assistant U.S. Attorney Hank Moon stated in a court filing that Musaibli had been one of the ISIS military fighting battalions, and spent at least nine months fighting on the front lines.

Musaibli’s sentence is far short of the 35-year term requested by prosecutors. Defense attorneys sought a 10-year prison term. Musaibli will earn praise for five years spent in custody since being indicted.

Musaibli’s attorneys stated that he was a troubled man who saw himself as a failure and who was “manipulated by propaganda” and turned out to be an insufficient Islamic State supporter.
