Seventh French jihadist sentenced to death in Iraq

Another national was sentenced to death in Iraq on Wednesday for belonging to the Islamic State jihadist group.
He will join the six French jihadists already convicted in Iraq since last Sunday: 29-year-old Yassine Sakka was sentenced by a court in Baghdad on Wednesday.
The young man was arrested in Syria, then transferred to Iraq in January, along with ten suspected French jihadists. Accused of belonging to Daesh, Yassine Sakka acknowledged the facts. "I admit to having pledged allegiance , I was paid $ 70 a month," he told the judge.
