A teenage German schoolgirl who ran away to join ISIS could face trial in Iraq, it has emerged today.

Axar.az reports citing Daily Mail.

Linda Wenzel, 16, was found alone, hurt and screaming for help in a bombed out house in Mosul this week, a year after she vanished from her home near Dresden, Eastern Germany.

She was married to a Chechen Islamic State fighter and 'admitted' to killing Iraqi troops, it has been claimed.

Haase, the German prosecutor, said the girl ran away from her family home in Pulsnitz in eastern Germany last summer. He could not confirm her current whereabouts, saying that was still part of the ongoing investigation.

It's also not clear yet whether she will return to Germany, he said.

'We, as the public prosecutor's office Dresden, have not applied for an arrest warrant and will therefore not be able to request extradition,' Haase said.

'There is the possibility that Linda might be put on trial in Iraq. She might be expelled for being a foreigner or, because she is a minor reported missing in Germany, she could be handed over to Germany.'

Earlier this week, an officer in Iraq's elite counter terrorism unit told The Telegraph said she was a sniper for ISIS.

Speaking anonymously, he said: 'We found her with a gun in her hand next to her Chechen husband, who was then killed by Iraqi forces in a firefight. She said she had killed a number of our men in the battle.'

'She was a Daesh sniper, but maybe her husband pressured her into it. She looked scared.'

The Telegraph said it is thought Linda and the fighter formed a relationship after meeting in a chat room, where he convinced her to join ISIS.

Iraqi MP Vian Dakhil backed up the claims, adding that she was found with explosives and was 'ready to attack the advancing troops.'
