I want freedom in Europe: IS chief Baghdadi's ex-wife

March 31, 2016 19:42

An ex-wife of Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, with whom he had a daughter, wants to live in Europe "in freedom", she told Swedish daily Expressen in an interview published today.

"I want to live in a European country, not an Arab country," Saja al-Dulaimi said in the interview filmed in Lebanon.

Dulaimi was freed several months ago from a Lebanese prison, where she had been held since 2014 with her children on suspicion of links to extremist organisations.

"I'm branded a terrorist but I'm far from all that," lamented Dulaimi.

"I want to live in freedom," the 28-year-old said, while praising Islamic Sharia law which she said provided "freedom and rights for women".
