Dulaimi Says she Was Married to Baghdadi for a Month
Saja al-Dulaimi, a divorcee of Islamic State chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, has revealed to the court that she had been only married to the man for a month.
“I haven’t committed any offense,” al-Dulaimi was quoted as telling the military court on Monday.
“My only crime is that I entered Lebanon as a refugee … I married a (man) called Hisham Mohammed six years ago but only for a month,” she reportedly said while holding her newborn.
“His name wasn't Abu Bakr,” the woman told the court.
Al-Dulaimi was arrested at a checkpoint on al-Madfoun Bridge in the North last year.
She has been charged with belonging to an armed organization with the intent of carrying out a terrorist attack.
Al-Dulaimi has four children – twins from her first husband, a girl who is Baghdadi's daughter and the newborn from her Palestinian husband Kamal Mohammed Khalaf.
Monday's session was postponed because al-Dulaimi does not have an attorney.
“It's been eight months that I am under arrest and I don't need a lawyer. I have nothing” to say, she said.
