Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi (born 1970) is a female Iraqi terrorist and would-be suicide bomber, who took part in the 2005 Amman bombings in Jordan but survived when her explosive belt failed to detonate. She was the wife of Ali Hussein Ali al-Shamari, who killed 38 people during a wedding party at the Amman Raddison, and is reportedly the sister of a close aide of Al-Qaida in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
She was later captured by Jordanian authorities and confessed on national TV. She was shown making a video taped confession with an apparent suicide bomb device around her with a detonator in hand showing that the device failed to explode, but later retracted her confession[1].
She was sentenced to death by hanging by a Jordanian military court on 21 September 2006[1] She appealled against this conviction, but on 29th January 2007 her appeal was dismissed, upholding the sentance of death by hanging.
