An Iraqi judge has cleared a German-Turkish woman of having ties to ISIS, a judicial source said, more than a year after she was detained. Hadya Abdel Qader had been held without charge since her arrest by Iraqi security forces in Mosul, in a part of the northern city held by the terrorist group. The extremist organization was ousted from Mosul in July last year after a months-long battle, during which suspected ISIS members were rounded up. But a judge at Baghdads central criminal court found no evidence to link Qader to ISIS, a judicial source said. The 40-year-old will remain in prison while prosecutors are given a month to decide whether to confirm or overturn the judges ruling. The office of Germanys anti-terrorism prosecutor did not confirm the details of the case, telling AFP only that her name "was not unknown" to authorities.
