ST. LOUIS (AP) – A New York man has been sentenced to eight years in federal prison for participating in a conspiracy to help a former Missouri man who died in Syria while fighting for the Islamic State. Nihad Rosic of Utica, New York, pleaded guilty in December in St. Louis to providing material support to terrorists. He was sentenced Thursday. Rosic admitted helping Ramiz Hodzic of St. Louis County send money and supplies to Abdullah Ramo Pazara, who lived in St. Louis County until 2013, when he went to Syria and became a commander for the Islamic State. He later died fighting for the group.
