Samra Kesinovic, 17, and Sabina Selimovic, 15, had been dubbed poster girls for the jihadist groups after fleeing to Raqqa in central Syria. They have since married foreign fighters in the city and become pregnant.
But the city’s strict Islamic lifestyle has turned sour for the girls, who want to return to Europe.
They have contacted their loved ones and told them they are sick of living with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) jihadis.
But they also said they don’t feel they can flee from their unwanted new life because too many people now associate them with Isil.
Austrian officials have said the girls have discussed going back home but that the country’s current laws were blocking their return. » | Damien McElroy | Friday, October 10, 2014
