nsnbc : Iraq’s Central Criminal Court, on Sunday, sentenced the prominent Islamic State chemical weapons expert Zeyad Tarek to death after convicting him of developing some of the self-proclaimed Islamic State’s deadliest chemical weapons.
Abdul-Sattar Beraqdar, a spokesman of Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council, said Zeyad Tarek (Tareq), who had been involved in militant activities since 2003, was sentenced to death based on the Iraqi counter-terrorism law.
Beraqdar said the convict had confessed to developing toxic weapons for the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL, Daesh), and had admitted to using a chicken coop he owned for the purpose of manufacturing the weapons.
Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council had previously announced that Tarek, a.k.a. the “chemical emir” was arrested in Lebanon after an intelligence operation resulting in him being rendered or extradited to Iraq. He was ambushed outside an – unspecified – embassy in Lebanon where he was applying for asylum.
Tarek, in a previous interview, said that one of the rockets he had developed could fire for a 20-kilometer range. The council’s paper said several militants arrested for manufacturing chemical weapons and booby-traps had pointed during interrogations to Tarek’s facility.
Very few details about the trial emerged. Thus, there are many who question the legality of the intelligence operation in Lebanon that resulted in his arrest and transfer to Iraq, how confessions by unnamed witnesses who pointed at Tarek’s “henhouse facility” were obtained, and other questions about the transparency and legal standing of the trial.
