The killing of Lt Moaz al-Kasasbeh by the Islamic State group was shown in a grim video circulated online in 2015.

The death of Moaz al-Kasasbeh stunned and outraged Jordan (file image).

A Swedish man already convicted of carrying out jihadist attacks in Europe has been jailed for life for "serious war crimes and terrorist crimes" over the brutal killing of a pilot in Syria 10 years ago.

A court in Stockholm handed down the verdict to Osama Krayem, who had been jailed for the Paris and Brussels attacks in 2015 and 2016.

Jordanian air force pilot Lt Moaz al-Kasasbeh was captured when his plane came down in Syria during a mission against the Islamic State (IS) group in 2014.

Jordan confirmed he had died after a gruesome IS video appeared to show the 26-year-old being burned alive in a cage.

Man charged over killing of Jordanian pilot burned alive by IS.

Krayem had denied the charges, Swedish public broadcaster SVT reported, and said he was unaware of the plans for the killing.

While the evidence showed that the fire that killed Lt Kasasbeh was lit by another man, Krayem was also involved in the killing, the court said.

"The defendant, through his actions, contributed so actively to the death of the pilot that he should be considered a perpetrator," presiding Judge Anna Liljenberg Gullesjo said in a statement.

He was at the execution site "uniformed and armed, and allowed himself to be filmed," the statement added.

Krayem, 32, who is already serving a 30-year sentence for his role in the Paris attacks and a life term for the Brussels attacks, was given a second life sentence by the court in Stockholm.

The judge added that Krayem's actions consisted of "guarding the victim both before and during the execution and taking him to the cage where he was set alight".

For markets and businesses, the practical impact depends on final numbers, regulatory filings, company disclosures and broader investor sentiment once the trading day or reporting cycle is complete.

For households, investors and policymakers, the final effect becomes clearer only when the headline is read with market closing data, regulator records, company statements and the wider macroeconomic setting.
