BAGHDAD (AFP) - A Baghdad court has handed a life jail sentence to the widow of Al-Qaeda's top chief in Iraq, killed last year in a joint US-Iraqi military raid, a judiciary official said on Wednesday. Abdel Sattar al-Beriqdar, spokesman of Iraq's High Council of Justice, told AFP the woman was an Iraqi, but identified her only by her initials. She is the widow of Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, the former head of the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI), the Qaeda front in Iraq. "The criminal W.J. confessed she participated with her terrorist husband in many armed terrorist operations in different areas in the country," Beriqdar said in a statement.
