An Iraqi court issued a death sentence against one of the wives of the late brutal Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, alleging that she was complicit in crimes committed against Yazidi women captured by the militant group, the country’s judiciary announced Wednesday.
A senior Iraqi security official told that another wife of al-Baghdadi and his daughter, who were also extradited from Turkey to Iraq, had been sentenced to life in prison. The sentences were handed down a week ago but were announced by the judicial council Wednesday, he said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly.
