US Justice continues widow IS-leader

- The US Justice continues an Iraqi woman for her role in the death of aid worker Kayla Mueller. The 25-year-old Umm Sayyaf is the widow of the slain Abu Sayyaf, a leader of the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS).

US Mueller according to US prosecutors was detained in a house of Umm and Abu Sayyaf. She was abducted while she worked as a social worker in the border of Syria and Turkey. Mueller came last year killed, presumably by a bombardment.

Umm Sayyaf is currently in an Iraqi cell. She would have admitted in front of agents of the FBI that she was responsible for Mueller while her husband was engaged in activities for IS.

The widow is suspected of a conspiracy that resulted in the death of Mueller. Sayyaf could be awarded a life sentence, the US Department of Justice reported in a statement.
