Tikrit court sentences al-Qaeda-linked group leader to death
2008-05-01
Salah al-Din, Apr 30, (VOI) - 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).
Most excellent! Say hello to Sammy for us ...
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.”

“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.
