(Sky News) A convicted terrorist from Iraq who entered the UK illegally has been sentenced to more than two years in jail.
Rebwar Hamad, 48, from Iraq, arrived with other migrants on 19 September and later pleaded guilty to entering the country without valid entry clearance, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has said.
He was sentenced at Canterbury Crown Court on Friday to two years and three months in prison.
Hamad originally came to the UK in 2001 and was granted indefinite leave to remain, the CPS said.
In 2019, he was convicted in his absence in Italy of terrorism offences and extradited to the country the following year to serve his sentence. After his release, Hamad said he was told to leave Italy within a week.
