Briton is jailed for 15 years in Iraq as a warning to foreign insurgents
From Daniel McGrory in Baghdad , Times London
Mobeen Muneef, 26, from Tooting, south London: his family says Britain has
abandoned him.
A STUDENT who slipped into Iraq to fight alongside al-Qaeda militants has
been jailed for 15 years in a warning to other Britons not to join groups
fighting US-led forces.
Mobeen Muneef looked stunned and close to collapse as the sentence was
passed at Central Criminal Court in Baghdad, watched by British and American
officials.
The judge did not attempt to investigate claims that the 26-year-old
religious studies student was smuggling weapons when captured by US Marines
in the insurgent stronghold of Ramadi.
Muneef was told that the sentence was simply for entering Iraq illegally and
violating passport laws. An official from the Justice Ministry said: "This
is a harsh message to would-be jihadis from abroad that if you are caught in
terrorist activity you will get no leniency."
