• Turkey police warn of Easter ISIS terror attacks

ISIS has been responsible for four major terrorist incidents in the past eight months.

  6 sentenced in Macedonia, 3 in Kosovo for trying to join Islamic extremists

  A criminal court in the Macedonian capital Skopje has sentenced six people, including an imam, to prison for joining Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and recruiting fighters for it, AP said. The imam, believed to be the mastermind of the group, was sentenced Friday to seven years. The six were arrested last August following raids in Skopje and several towns in the northwest. In Kosovo, a Pristina court has jailed three ethnic Albanian men who had tried to join IS extremists in Syria. Two of them were sentenced to two years and four months in jail and the third to two-and-a-half years. They were stopped by the Turkish authorities at Istanbul airport and handed back to Kosovo police last November.
