A court in London on Friday sentenced Junead Khan, 25, for contacting the Islamic State militant group following a plan to attack the US airbase in East Anglia, bdnews24.com reported.

He was preparing to go to Syria to join the IS, the police said. Junead's relative Shazib Khan joined the group last year.
