    German court sentences two returning ISIS jihadists to jail

    Two former Islamic State jihadists, including a would-be suicide bomber, were sentenced to jail by a German court Monday on charges of involvement in a terrorist group.

    Ayoub B., 27, was given four years and three months, while Ebrahim H. B., 26, was handed a conviction of three years.

    The two were "involved in the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria organization between June and August 2014, and were therefore members of a terrorist group abroad," the court in western Germany's Lower Saxony said in its ruling.
