Uthman Awad Hamid Ahmed al-Jubouri, also known as Ossman Awad Hamid Ahmed, was found guilty of crimes against the security of Iraq on Nov. 22 and was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment. Daud Salman Mohammed Ali al-Barmani was found guilty of belonging to armed groups who threaten the Iraqi people on Dec. 5 and was sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment. The members of the Adhamiya terrorist cell have planned and participated in armed attacks against Iraqi Police, Iraqi National Guard, Iraqi civilians, and Coalition Forces. The cell is also responsible for getting foreign Anti-Iraqi Forces fighters into Iraq from locations such as Morocco, Tunisia, and Northern Africa. These successful convictions show that the Iraqi security forces are continuing to work toward capturing and bringing to justice all active members of this deadly insurgency. These verdicts reinforce the will of the Iraqi people that former regime members, insurgents and their supporters are held accountable and punished by a court of justice. |
