A Belgium appeals court on Thursday sentenced top jihadist recruiter Khalid Zerkani to 15 years in prison after convicting him of enlisting key suspects in the Brussels and Paris attacks.
Zerkani is “the biggest recruiter of jihadists Belgium has ever known,” Federal Prosecutor Bernard Michel said during a court hearing in February.
Zerkani was originally jailed in July 2015 to 12 years behind bars, before the Islamic State attacks in Paris and Brussels that killed 162 people.
