Al-Qaeda leader's wife gets 20 years in prison

None

An Iraqi judicial spokesman says a court has sentenced the wife of a slain al-Qaeda leader to 20 years in prison for terrorism-related charges.

 

An Iraqi Supreme Judicial Council spokesman on Sunday said Hasna Ali Yahya, the Yemeni wife of Abu Ayyub al-Masri, was convicted last Thursday. Spokesman Abdul-Sattar Bayrkdar didn't give details on the charges, but a government official said she was convicted of facilitating correspondence between insurgents and preparing explosive-laden belts.  (AP)
