I was 'stupid' to join Isis, says teenage wifeA German teenager has said she was an "idiot" for joining Islamic State and that the decision has wrecked her future, in her first interview since her arrest by Iraqi forces. Linda Wenzel, 17, claimed her decision was a "stupid idea" but showed little remorse in the first meeting with her family since she left Pulsnitz, near Dresden, for Syria in July last year. Iraqi security sources told The Daily Telegraph Linda had been trained as a sniper and was found with a gun. However, she claimed that she never touched a weapon: "I don't know how such a thing works", she said. Next month, she will face trial in Baghdad, where she stands accused of being a member of a terrorist organisation.
