(National-UAE) An imam suspected of being a recruiter for ISIS has been deported by Sweden after a year in detention.
Ahmed Ahmed, 52, was detained last year on suspicion of being a key figure in the radicalisation and recruitment of ISIS fighters across Sweden, where he had worked in a number of mosques.
Originally from Iraq, Swedish security services deported him last week after a judge ruled he posed a threat to national security.
It is alleged 14 people connected to him travelled to fight for ISIS.
In a 2015 raid on his home, images of ISIS fighters and Osama bin Laden were allegedly found on his phone along with a picture of the Jordanian pilot who was burnt alive by ISIS.
