A Swedish man already convicted of carrying out jihadist attacks in Europe has been jailed for life for "serious war crimes and terrorist crimes" over the brutal killing of a pilot in Syria 10 years ago.
A court in Stockholm handed down the verdict to Osama Krayem, who had been jailed for the Paris and Brussels attacks in 2015 and 2016.
Jordanian air force pilot Lt Moaz al-Kasasbeh was captured when his plane came down in Syria during a mission against the Islamic State (IS) group in 2014.
Jordan confirmed he had died after a gruesome IS video appeared to show the 26-year-old being burned alive in a cage.
