A U.S. judge in Minnesota has given jail time to three Somali-Americans found guilty of conspiring to provide material support to Islamic State, but rewarded two of them with lighter sentences for cooperating with the government.

The harshest sentence was given to Zacharia Abdurahman, who got 10 years in prison. The prosecution wanted 15 years in prison for Abdurahman. The judge, Michael Davis, made it clear that Abdurahman received the toughest sentence because he did not testify against his former co-conspirators.

Abdurahman was stopped at JFK airport in New York in 2017 while attempting to travel to Greece on his way to Syria to join Islamic State. The following year he was involved in a second attempt to travel to Syria.

Also sentenced Monday was Abdirazak Warsame and Abdullahi Yusuf, both of whom cooperated with the U.S. government. Warsame received 30 months in prison, while Yusuf got off for time served in prison, the 21 months he already has been in jail. Both testified against some of their former friends.

美国明尼苏达州的一位联邦法官判处三名索马里裔美国人有期徒刑，罪名是阴谋向伊斯兰国组织提供物质支持，但是其中两人因与政府配合得到较短的刑期。

得到最长刑期的是扎克里亚·阿布杜拉赫曼，他被判10年监禁。 检察官本来对阿布杜拉赫曼寻求15年监禁，此案法官迈克尔·戴维斯解释说，阿布杜拉赫曼得到的刑期最长是因为他拒绝就他的同伙作证。
