Minnesota man tells judge, ‘I am a terrorist,’ gets 10 years
MINNEAPOLIS — A Minnesota man told a judge on Tuesday that he was a terrorist — then was sentenced to 10 years in prison for conspiring to join the Islamic State group in Syria.
Hanad Musse, 21, is one of nine friends in Minnesota’s large Somali community who are being sentenced this week for conspiring to join the militant group. Earlier Tuesday one of his co-defendants, Hamza Ahmed, received 15 years on charges connected to the plot.
