Linda Wenzel, the 16-year-old German teenager who fled to Iraq to join ISIS will face the death penalty

The girl was discovered by the Iraqi army forces in the city of Mosul.

The German teen was interrogated by the Iraqi authorities and she might be sentenced to death for joining the terrorist group.

Wenzel converted to Islam when she was only 15 years old and ran away from home after she had been radicalized through thousands of online conversations with a fanatic from the jihadist organization.

Wenzel took the plane to Istanbul then she illegally crossed the border to Iraq, where she married the Chechen fighter.

After his death, the teenager arrived in Mosul, where more than 25.000 Islamic supporters died during the war with the Iraqi forces.

Germany is currently in the process of negotiating with the Iraqi authorities in order to release the young woman who will turn 17 at the end of the month.

In Germany, she will most likely be judged and convicted, but because she is minor, the punishment may be softer.

The media in Germany reports that Linda Wenzel, together with four other women, we’re responsible for protecting and maintaining the Islamic dress code. Linda was supposed to report any code violation, for which the punishment was wiping.

The teenager was shot in the leg during the Mosul conflict and says she wants to go home because she is willing to cooperate with the German authorities.

On Wednesday, an Iraqi court sentenced to death 27 fighters captured by the Islamic State for the massacre of 1.700 people killed in a former US base in Iraq.
