One of the most visible female ISIS members on Twitter is a woman who goes by the name Umm Khattab al-Britaniyyaa, and claims to be an 18-year-old from the United Kingdom. Recently, she has been posting on her blog about the death of her husband.
On the 28th of October, a sister came to me and asked if my husband was Abu Khattab Al Swedi. I said, “yeah,” and she said, “Mabrook [congratulations], he’s shaheed [martyred].”
On her blog, Umm Khattab describes the moment she heard of her husband’s death:
I didn’t know how to react because I didn’t believe it, so I laughed and was just like, “Really, LOL?” So when it hit me the sisters told me to do sujood, but I wanted to do It in my house. When I got home I did my sujood and all my emotions came out because it hit me that my husband had FINALLY made it, Inshallah after a more then a year in Shaam [Syria]. Although I was very happy for my husband, I was also sad because I wouldnt see him till akirah [the afterlife].”
Swedish newspaper Göteborgs-Posten reported on Oct. 30 that a Swedish fighter in his late twenties had been killed by coalition airstrikes early in the morning of Oct. 28, in Kobani.
