General Info:
Iraqi national Watheq Muhammad Yousef Al-Samarraie is accused of conducting a terrorist attack and participating in a terrorist group. He flew from Prague to fight for the Islamic State terrorist group.
Samarraie, who has permanent residence in the Czech Republic where he studied and got married, joined the Islamic State terrorist organization six years ago.
He flew from Václav Havel Airport to Turkey and then continued to Mosul in northern Iraq, then controlled by the Islamic State terrorist group.
In April 2015 he actively participated in the attack on the oil refinery in Baiji. Samarraie engaged in attacks on the Iraqi army and coalition troops.
After being injured by a missile, he allegedly worked in Mosul as an Islamic State propaganda teacher.
His father got a three-year suspended sentence for financing terrorism last July. The man sent dollars worth about 54,000 korunas (€2,069) to Mosul to Samarraie so that he could move out of Mosul with his wife and son and could finally hug his grandson.
