(National-UAE) A woman who married a German rapper-turned-ISIS fighter and who allegedly kept a Yazidi child slave in Syria went on trial in Germany on Monday.

Known only as Omaima A, 35, the German-Tunisian woman is accused of membership of a foreign terror group, human trafficking and crimes against humanity.

She travelled to ISIS-held territory in Syria in early 2015 with her three children to join their father and her first husband, a man identified as Nadar.

After he was killed she married German-Ghanaian ISIS member Denis Cuspert, formerly a rapper known as Deso Dogg.

Cuspert was killed in early 2018 while fighting for the terror group as its territory in Iraq and Syria dwindled.
