Iraqi court sentences Belgian citizen to death over IS membership
2019-03-19
“Try ‘em fair and hang ‘em high” is a lot cheaper than giving them three hots and a cot until their country gets around to taking them back.
Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) ‐ An Iraqi court has sentenced a Belgian national to death by hanging for belonging to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
bad boy group.

Bilal al-Marchohi, 23, was found guilty of belonging to Islamic State and carrying out terrorist attacks on its behalf.

"I shouldn’t be prosecuted in Iraq," Marchohi was quoted by Rooters as saying during today’s hearing. "I should be prosecuted in Belgium. I am a Belgian citizen."

During an hour of proceedings, the presiding judge read out portions of Marchohi’s signed confession and showed a video and photographs that he said proved his membership of IS.

The images from a phone found in his possession at the time of his arrest showed Marchohi carrying a gun and making a hand gesture affiliated with the bad boys. Several pictures showed him cradling his infant son.

Marchohi denied all allegations against him in open court, including that he was a member of IS at any time.

Judge Jumaa Saidi told the court that the photographs were clear evidence Marchohi was a member of Islamic State.

#2  In the old west, a man's horse and his cattle were key to his livelihood and survival. Horse and cattle thieves were reportedly dealt with quite severely.

I have no issues with the Iraqi decision. Their business, not ours.
