An Iraqi court has sentenced a German woman to death after she ran away to join ISIS.

The court in Baghdad convicted the unnamed German woman of "providing logistical support and assistance to the terrorist group to commit crimes" and has ordered her execution.

The spokesman of the Supreme Judicial Council, Abdul-Sattar Bayrkdar, says the woman acknowledged joining ISIS after travelling from Germany to Syria and then to Iraq along with her two daughters. Both daughters later married militants. 

She is believed to have been living in the Mannheim region of Germany when she travelled to Syria but is reportedly of Moroccan descent.
