Linda Wenzel, the 16-year-old Islamic state bride captured in Mosul, could face trial in Iraq after it emerged her native Germany has yet to request her extradition.

Ms Wenzel is being held in an Iraqi prison amid unconfirmed claims she had a baby with her when she was captured by Iraqi special forces last week.

“I don’t know for sure that it is her baby, but she keeps him with her always,” the Sunday Times quoted an unidentified Iraqi special forces soldier as saying.
