Man sentenced to 30 years for trying to aid IS

Federal authorities asked for a 30-year sentence for Badawi with lifetime supervised release the same sentence that Elhuzayel received last month from U.S. District Judge David O. Carter.

Defense attorney Kate Corrigan, who has said Badawi never actually intended to fight for the Islamic State, said she requested half the amount of prison time and 20 years of supervision, citing his lack of criminal history and age.

While in custody, Badawi stopped eating and dropped from 140 to 109 pounds before a judge ordered him force-fed last December.
