An ISIS recruiter who spread the terror group's propaganda online and fought alongside its members in an effort to wage a global jihad was sentenced Friday to life in prison, federal prosecutors said. 

Mirsad Kandic, 41, of Brooklyn, New York, was convicted by a federal jury in May 2022, after his 2017 arrest in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. He was charged with conspiracy and providing and attempting to provide support to the Islamic State.

"Serving ISIS’s deadly terror campaign, this defendant fought on the battlefield, spread propaganda, smuggled weapons, and radicalized Western recruits," said U.S. Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division.

Prosecutors said Kandic recruited people from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and elsewhere to travel to Syria and Iraq and join ISIS battles. He allegedly told an associate online that he worked in Turkey in the Islamic State's border office as part of a team that conducted background checks of foreign fighters who wanted to go to Syria.

He spread ISIS propaganda using more than 120 Twitter accounts, through which he posted videos of ISIS captives, including some in which victims were forced to dig their own graves before being executed. He sent thousands of radicalized fighters from Western countries to ISIS-controlled territories in Syria and the Middle East. 

Authorities said Kandic assisted Jake Bilardi, an 18-year-old Australian citizen who died in a suicide bomb attack west of Baghdad in March 2015. Bilardi joined ISIS in 2014 and killed more than 30 Iraqi soldiers and police officers during his suicide attack. 

The attack paved the way for ISIS’s takeover of Ramadi and the Anbar Province of Iraq several weeks later, an Iraqi Army general staffer testified to.

"Kandic was a high-ranking member of ISIS who relished the death and destruction he wrought while providing every conceivable form of material support to a terrorist organization, including the recruitment of countless others to ISIS’s bloody campaigns in Syria and elsewhere," said U.S. Attorney Breon Peace.

Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman will enter his sixth college season on a new campus after transferring from Wake Forest following the 2022 college football season. 

His sixth year comes after a season with the Demon Deacons in which Hartman underwent surgery in August 2022 to remove a blood clot due to a condition known as Paget-Schroetter syndrome. 

The procedure included the removal of a rib near Hartman’s collarbone to give the blood vessels more space and prevent future clotting, according to The Athletic.

Hartman has said that the removed rib will soon be made into a necklace. 

"The rib is good. It’s actually clean. It looks like a fossil-type deal. It is well on its way to becoming a necklace. I think we’re a couple of weeks out from finalizing it. Just making sure that we take great care of it and make sure that it stays in one piece," Hartman said Thursday on "The Paul Finebaum Show."

Hartman said his mother is in charge of making the necklace, though he doesn’t plan on wearing it often. 

"My mom actually is handling it for me," Hartman continued. "So, shout-out to Mom as always, the angel. She worked as a nurse in labor delivery, intensive care. . . . She’s seen worse, I would say.

"She kind of took the bull by the horns, and I asked her to try and make it kind of like a puka shell type deal, with the rib like a shark tooth at the end." 

Hartman only missed one game following the procedure, returning for Wake Forest’s Week 2 matchup against Vanderbilt. 

Hartman threw for 3,701 yards and 38 touchdowns in his final season in Winston-Salem, leading the Demon Deacons to a record of 8-5. 

He now takes over under center for the Fighting Irish as head coach Marcus Freeman enters his second season. 

Notre Dame will welcome Wake Forest to South Bend, IN, on November 18th. 

"The Wake Forest one’s tough. It’ll be tough all around. I think you’re at a place so long, you know everybody on the team other than the new guys that have just showed up in the summer," Hartman said Thursday. "It’s a big game for both teams. And obviously, every game that late in the season is going to be a big one."
