Musa, who had been questioned in a Kolkata prison by the FBI for his links with ISIS, is also accused of murderous attacks on jail staff on two occasions.
A special NIA court in Kolkata on Friday sentenced Mohd Mosiuddin alias Musa, accused of plotting Islamic State-style chilling execution of foreigners, to life imprisonment.
Musa was arrested from a passenger train in West Bengal's Burdwan in July 2016 by the state CID, following which the NIA had taken over the probe into the matter.
Chief Judge Siddhartha Kanjilal sentenced Musa to life imprisonment after finding him guilty of conspiring to wage war against the government of India and collecting men and weapons for the purpose.
According to a charge sheet filed earlier by NIA, Musa was plotting ISIS-style chilling execution of foreigners, especially those from the US, Russia and the UK, visiting the Mother House in Kolkata.
