"The Dresden prosecutor confirms that Linda W. was identified in Iraq," where she is receiving German consular assistance, said the prosecutor's office in Dresden, near the teen's eastern hometown of Pulsnitz. German weekly Der Spiegel reported on Saturday that Linda W. had been detained in Baghdad with three other German women and that they had been questioned following the liberation of Mosul from Isis control which Iraq reported on July 10th. Spiegel said the Iraqi authorities handed the German embassy a list of names of German women in the area "at the start of the week" and added consular officials had since visited four of them at a prison at Baghdad airport. The magazine said one of the four was of Moroccan origin and that another was believed to be of Chechen origin but had a German passport.
