Among the two Austrian teens who became poster girls for the Islamic State group, one of them was killed by the Jihadists. The two girls Samra Kesinovic and Sabina Selimovic ran away from their homes to Syria to become terrorist brides. While leaving their country, the girls had left behind a note for their parents: “Don’t look for us. We will serve Allah – and we will die for him”.
The duo was reportedly beaten to death when she realized her mistake and attempted to escape the ISIS-controlled city of Raqqa, Syria. According to Tabloid Österreich, the duo had been living with women in a house in Raqqa – an ISIS stronghold. The woman who told an Austrian tabloid that she had once lived with Kesinovic and later managed to escape the terrorist enclave.

Her murder, which allegedly occurred last year, has not yet been confirmed by foreign authorities.
The News reported:
“Kesinovic ran away with her friend, 15-year-old Sabina Selimovic, last year. The two teens were considered “jihad poster girls” and were used by ISIS to inspire other young girls to join the fighters in Iraq and Syria.”
“European media reported that one of the two girls was killed during a September ISIS battle while the second report from December reaffirmed that one of the two teens was dead.”
“Neither report clarified which of the teens had died, but the news of Kesinovic’s alleged beating death seems to suggest Selimovic was the first of the two to be killed.”

“The girls came from Bosnian refugee families who settled in Austria after the Bosnian War of the early ’90s. Both friends were born in Austria but were eventually lured to Syria.”
Because Islamic State militants believe that anyone killed by a woman would be denied heaven, girls are often used on the battlefield. The Austrian authorities have accused a Vienna-based Bosnian Islamic preacher known as Abu Tejda – named as Mirsad O under Austrian privacy laws of recruiting the woman.
