MOSCOW (Sputnik) Mirsad O., a 34-year-old Serbian man from Bosnia, was charged with belonging to a terrorist organization as well as inciting violence and hate speech, Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung said.

The outlet said that the preacher, who goes by the alias Ebu Tejma, had convinced many youths to fight alongside the terror group, including through IS propaganda films he spread on the Internet.

Another man, identified as Mucharbek T., was convicted of fighting for the IS and sentenced to ten years in prison late Wednesday.
