Al Qaeda in Iraq

A court sentenced Hasna Ali Yahya, the Yemeni wife of Abu Ayyub al Masri, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for facilitating communications between terrorists and assembling suicide vests. Al Masri was the head of al Qaeda in Iraq before he was killed by US and Iraqi troops last year.
