(BBC) A British man who spent two years with Islamic State in Syria and knew the British militant dubbed Jihadi John has been jailed for carrying a weapon for terrorist purposes.
Aine Davis was also sentenced at the Old Bailey for fundraising after he tried to get his wife to send him 20,000 euros (£17,460).
Intelligence services once believed that Davis was part of the “IS Beatles” who tortured and killed hostages.
Davis was jailed for eight years.
The sentence was made up of five-and-[a]-half years for the firearms charge, and two-and-a-half years for two fundraising charges — all of which are offences under the Terrorism Act.
