Jordan on Monday sentenced four people to two years in jail each for having tried to join the ranks of the Islamic State group and for promoting the jihadists online.

Since the start of the campaign in September 2014, Jordan has reportedly arrested dozens of suspected IS sympathisers and put several on trial.
