A Iraqi teenage girl caught moments before blowing herself up in a suicide bomb attack has been sentenced to seven and a half years in prison, a Justice Ministry official told selfnews on Wednesday. 'Diyala juvenile court sentenced Raniya Ibrahim to seven and a half years in prison on Tuesday, but it is subject to appeal,' ministry spokeswoman Ahlam al- Tamami said. Aged 15 at the time, Ibrahim was arrested on August 24, 2008 wearing a vest packed with 20 kilogrammes (44 pounds) of explosives and preparing to blow herself up in the busy market in the town of Baquba, northeast of Baghdad. The attack was mapped out by her husband and other Al-Qaeda members but police officers managed to foil the plan and arrest the girl, investigators said. Her husband, whom she married aged 14, is a suspected Al-Qaeda militant thought to be behind 40 murders, the majority of which were decapitations. Ibrahim's father and brother were both suicide bombers.
