Today in Stockholm, Osama Krayem was convicted and given life imprisonment for his involvement in the horrific burning death of a Jordanian pilot, Muath al-Kasasbeh, in Syria in 2014 during the Syrian war. The victim was burned alive in a cage by ISIS terrorists, and the act was videotaped.
Krayem was reportedly born in Sweden to Palestinian-Syrian parents. He was previously convicted of terrorist acts in France (2015) and Belgium (2016) before being handed over to Swedish authorities for trial in June of this year.

New life sentence for ISIS-Swede
Posted today (July 31, 2025) at 11:41
The Swedish terrorist, Osama Krayem, is sentenced to life in prison for having participated in the burning alive death of a Jordanian fighter pilot by ISIS in 2014.
With this, the 32-year-old from Malmö is the first to be convicted of what the prosecutorial authority calls "one of the most brutal murders that ISIS carried out in the war in Syria". He was arrested in absentia (from Sweden) in January, and the trial in Stockholm District Court began in June.
Krayem was previously convicted for his involvement in terrorist acts in Paris in 2015 and in Brussels in 2016. He was then sentenced to 30 years and life imprisonment respectively.
