A German court jailed a teenage German-Moroccan girl on Thursday for stabbing a policeman at a train station on the orders of Daesh.<\/p>\n
Safia S., a dual citizen aged 16, was convicted of attempted murder and being a supporter of the militant group by the Higher Regional Court in the northern city of Celle. She was sentenced to six years.<\/p>\n
During the trial, which started in October, her lawyer had argued that she lacked the capacity to know she was doing wrong.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors said Safia S. travelled to Istanbul in January last year where she met members of Daesh who planned to help her enter territory it controlled in Syria.<\/p>\n
While in Istanbul, they said, she received orders to carry out a “martyrdom attack” in Germany, where investigators said they believe she was radicalised.<\/p>\n
Then aged 15, she stabbed and seriously wounded the policeman at the train station in Hanover after she was brought back to Germany by her mother, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n
Investigators said they believe the girl was radicalised in Germany.<\/p>\n
A 20-year-old German-Syrian man, named as Mohamad K., was sentenced to two-and-half years in prison as an accomplice after failing to inform the police despite knowing of Safia’s plan.<\/p>\n
