NEW YORK—A former New York stockbroker-turned-ISIS group terrorist was convicted Tuesday of becoming a sniper and trainer for the terrorist group during its brutal reign in Syria and Iraq.

The trial of Ruslan Maratovich Asainov, a Kazakh-born U.S. citizen, was the latest in a series of cases against people accused of leaving their homelands around the world to join the terrorists in combat.
