Tweet
Salah al-Din – The Criminal Court in Tikrit on Wednesday sentenced a senior commander of an al-Qaeda-linked group to death, a Salah al-Din police source said.
“The Criminal Court handed down a death sentence on Adnan Faraj, the military commander of the self-proclaimed Islamic State of Iraq in Salah al-Din,†a police source, who requested anonymity, told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI).
The source pointed out “the ruling was based on item four of counter-terrorism law after the suspect pleaded guilty to killing an Iraqi army officer in Dhuluyia town during the summer of 2005.â€Â
“The suspect will be also tried in a number of cases after admitting involvement in several operations which were documented by judicial authorities,†he added.
Adnan Faraj, a Dhuluyia resident, was arrested in late 2007 in Mosul while trying to travel abroad with a forged passport.
