BAGHDAD, Aug 6, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – An Iraqi court on Monday sentenced a
French man and a German woman to life in prison for belonging to the Islamic
State jihadist group.
Frenchman Lahcen Gueboudj, 58, and a German woman whose name was given only
as Nadia were sentenced separately at the Baghdad central criminal court,
according to an AFP journalist.
Nadia is the daughter of a German woman whose death sentence in January for
IS membership was commuted to a 20-year life term in April.
