A British jihadist who fled to Syria and joined a militant group with links to so-called Islamic State has been given a 12-year custodial sentence.
Imran Khawaja, from west London, spent six months in Syria, during which he was pictured posing with severed heads.
Khawaja, 27, was arrested in Dover last June after faking his death and trying to return to the UK undetected.
He admitted preparing for acts of terrorism, attending a camp, receiving training and possessing firearms.
Delivering his decision, judge Mr Justice Baker said Khawaja posed "a significant risk of serious harm" to the public. He will serve a minimum of eight years.
His cousin, Tahir Bhatti, from Watford in Hertfordshire was jailed for 21 months. He will serve half of his sentence.
Bhatti had driven to Serbia to collect Khawaja and bring him back to the UK.
Asim Ali, from Ealing in west London - who provided his friend Khawaja with funds - was also given 21 months in prison.
At Woolwich Crown Court, Mr Justice Baker described Khawaja as a "willing and enthusiastic" participant in recruitment films.
And he dismissed Khawaja's claim that he came home to see his family and regretted his actions.
The judge said: "It is clear in the last few years you have been showing an increasing interest in Islamic jihadist material.
"You took part in the production of films designed to promote the Islamic State cause and encouraging UK muslims to join you in jihad.
"Your interest was sufficiently profound for you to travel to Syria to train for jihad.
"I'm also satisfied, by the time you decided to return to the UK, you had completed your terrorist training."
Khawaja showed no emotion as he was led from the court.
