Linux Mint terrorist Samata Ullah [theregister.co.uk] has been jailed for eight years by Cardiff Crown Court.

Ullah, as we reported on Friday [theregister.co.uk], was caught with, among other things, a USB cufflink loaded with a copy of the Linux distro.

The former insurance worker pleaded guilty to five terrorism charges, including being a member of Islamic State and two charges of possessing terrorist material.

Vice’s Motherboard offshoot had a look round [vice.com] his “basic Wordpress” blog aimed at promoting Islamic State propaganda. They noted that police investigators seized more than 6.1 terabytes of data from his Cardiff home.

Pronunciation tip: the 'll' in 'Ullah' is a voiceless lateral fricative [wikipedia.org].
