        A Swedish court on Wednesday found a 35-year-old woman guilty of war crimes for posting photos of herself with severed heads that were on display in a Syrian city in 2014.
        
        Fatosh Ibrahim who pleaded not guilty, was sentenced to three months in prison. The Goteborg District Court said Fatosh Ibrahim "on two occasions published photographs of severed heads impaled on the fence" of a Raqqa roundabout, placed there by Islamic State group militants.
        
        Ibrahim used her cell phone to take photos of herself in Raqqa's Naim Square - meaning "Paradise" - where Islamic State group militants had displayed hanged bodies or heads.
        
        The court said in its ruling that Ibrahim posted on Facebook "disparaging comments about the people in the photos and expressed that they deserved what they were subjected to."
