How an Iraqi Court Rained Death Tears on a Turkish Terrorist
Oh‑wow, if you thought the Middle East had settled, this just proves otherwise. On February 19, 2018, the Iraqi criminal courts dropped a death sentence on a Turkish woman, slamming her name on the blotter of the Islamic State, while sending ten other foreign fighters to life in prison. The verdict can be appealed, but the decision is a hard blow.
What the Court Said
- The judge, Abdul‑Sattar al‑Birqdar, told reporters the court handed down ten life‑term verdicts for women accused of terrorism.
- And then, a death by hanging for the one Turkish citizen—a sharp drop‑in to end the bloody chapter.
It isn’t a one‑off case. The same powerhouse plague may still smear the country, but the hardliners are keeping the clocks ticking with suicides, bombings, and real‑time terror.
More Than Just a Turkish Target
Last month, a German woman got the same death sentence. One year earlier this happened to a Russian fighter. That’s at least three foreign nationals who took the high‑risk road to join ISIS‑style chaos.
Iraq’s Measured Readiness
In December, Iraq declared massive victory – the same great year that the chronic media highlighted his March–key “23k”–Kara. Though all ISIS strongholds are now out of reach, the remnants still want to keep the world on edge.
Appeals are still possible but with a case as thick as this, the jury’s not shy about a sentence so grim. Still, one can’t say Iraq is done; the fight is far from over, and each verdict is a reminder that terror has consequences – if the courts keep coating them with a powerful, truly unforgiven legacy.
