Teen German ISIS ‘Bride’ Convicted In Iraqi Court

Miss Linda Wenzel, the famous German Teenage ISIS bride captured by the Iraqi army last year, was sentenced in an Iraqi court to a prison sentence of 6 years to be served in Iraq.

The teenager from Pulsnitz (near Dresden) was only 15 when she told her mother she was going to spend the weekend with a friend but instead made her way to Syria after striking up a relationship online with a jihadist.

Miss Wenzel, now 17 years old, received five years from a juvenile court for joining a terrorist organization and an extra year for entering Iraq illegally.

German media had been fearful that Miss Wenzel would get the death sentence but the Iraqi judge ruled she was too young for that (four months ago, A 50-year-old German citizen from Mannheim with Moroccan roots was sentenced to death in Baghdad).

Questioned by German press and speaking from her prison cell in Baghdad, Miss Wenzel said: “I just want to get away from here. I want to get away from the war, from the many weapons, from the noise”.

“I just want to go home to my family.”

She should of thought more about wanting to be by her family before joining up with a bunch of animals hell bent on killing innocent people.
