She was sentenced to death by hanging for providing “logistical support and helping the terrorist group to carry out crimes,” said court spokesman Abdel Settar Bayraqdar.

“The accused admitted during interrogations that she left Germany for Syria then Iraq to join ISIS with her two daughters, who married members of the terrorist organization,” he said.

In September 2017, the same court sentenced to death by hanging a Russian man who was captured in Iraq’s second city Mosul and found guilty of fighting for IS.

Iraqi forces expelled the militants from Mosul in July 2017, ending three years of IS rule in the city.

Iraqi forces have detained a number of foreign women after they drove Isis from its former territory in northern and central Iraq.

It is estimated that over 27,000 foreign fighters, including 6,000 Europeans, have travelled to Iraq and Syria since 2011 but not all of them have joined ISIS.

Last month Germany’s intelligence services have identified a Wahhabi terrorist network made up of 40 women spreading hate and extremist ideology online.

According to official estimates, one third of 950 Germans who joined ISIS have already returned home, the majority of whom are women and children.
