British brothers jailed for training at Syria terror camp
By Dominic Casciani
Home affairs correspondent, BBC News
Two brothers have become the first Britons to be jailed for terrorism training in Syria.
Mohommod Nawaz, 30, and Hamza Nawaz, 24, both from Stratford, east London, were sentenced to four-and-a-half years and three years respectively.
They had admitted conspiracy to attend a terrorism training camp in 2013.
The judge said the men's "focus" was the regime in Syria rather than attacks in the UK and there was no evidence either man had taken part in fighting.
