(AP) The widow of a German-born rapper who joined the Islamic State extremist group in Syria and was killed in an airstrike was herself convicted Friday of membership in a terrorist organization.
The Hamburg state court sentenced Omaima A., 36, to three [and a half] years in prison, the dpa news agency reported.
The Hamburg-born woman of Tunisian heritage, whose last name wasn’t provided in line with German privacy laws, was also convicted of failing to properly care for her children, weapons violations and aiding in the enslavement of a Yazidi girl.
The woman followed her first husband to Syria in 2015 and lived in the Islamic State stronghold of Raqqa with their three children, according to the court.
