Iraqi Court Sentences Daesh Leader's Widow to Death
10:26 11.07.2024 (Updated: 11:09 11.07.2024) DOHA (Sputnik) - An Iraqi criminal court has handed a death sentence to the widow of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the late leader of the Daesh* terrorist group, the Supreme Judicial Council said on Wednesday.
Baghdad's Karkh Criminal Court found al-Baghdadi's first wife, Asma Muhammad, guilty of collaborating with an extremist organization and holding
ethnic-minority Yazidi women captive in her home.
"The terrorist woman had detained Yazidi women in her house, and then they were kidnapped by Daesh gangs in the district of Sinjar, west of Nineveh province," the Council said in a statement.
The Iraqi judiciary announced an investigation into al-Baghdadi's family members in February following their repatriation from abroad. Asma Muhammad
was captured in Turkey in 2018, where she fled to, together with his daughter Leila.
Daesh fighters captured large areas of northern and western Iraq in 2014, including the country's second-most populous city, Mosul. Iraq declared victory over Daesh in late 2017, although the operation to root out so-called Daesh sleeper cells in hard-to-reach areas continued.
