(Essex Daily Voice) A Queens man was sentenced Wednesday to 30 years without parole in federal prison for trying to support ISIS, followed by another eight years for assaulting a federal correctional officer.
Ali Saleh, 28, will have to serve out just about all of the consecutive sentences because there’s no parole in the federal prison system.
Saleh “swore an oath of allegiance to ISIS” and embraced the terrorist organization’s directive to either travel to the Middle East or take action at home, a complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn says.
“I’m ready to die for the Caliphate, prison is nothing,” he announced, according to the complaint.
This, it says, was followed by: “Let[‘]s be clear the Muslims in the khilafah [caliphate] need help, the one who is capable to go over and help the Muslims must go and help.”
