Iraq: German woman sentenced to death for joining ISIS


(MENAFN) Over joining the Islamic State group, a German woman of Moroccan origin has been sentenced to death by an Iraqi court.

The woman acknowledged joining ISIS after traveling from Germany to Syria and then to Iraq along with her two daughters, both daughters later married militants, the spokesman of the Supreme Judicial Council, Abdul-Sattar Bayrkdar, said.

She was found guilty of "offering logistic support and helping the terrorist group to carry out criminal acts," and "taking part in attacks against security forces," Bayrkdar said Sunday with mentioning no further details.

Iraqi forces arrested many foreign women as they drove ISIS from the territory it once controlled in northern and central Iraq.
