An Austrian teenager who became a poster girl for the Islamic State has reportedly been beaten to death by the group after she was caught trying to leave Syria.

Sabra Kesinovic, 17, was murdered after she was caught attempting to escape from Raqqa, Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant's (Isil) de facto capital in Syria, according to reports in two Austrian newspapers.

She appeared extensively in Isil propaganda material after leaving her native Vienna to join the group together with Sabina Selimovic, a 16-year-old friend.

The two teenagers were shown wearing Islamic headbands and brandishing Kalashnikov rifles, surrounded by masked male jihadists.
They were also shown wearing full Islamic veils and pointing towards heaven.

The Austrian government refused to comment on reports in Ă–sterreich and Kronen Zeitung newspapers that Kesinovic had been beaten to death.

“We cannot comment on individual cases,” Thomas Schnöll, a spokesman for the foreign ministry said.

Both Austrian women are now believed to be dead, after reports Selimovic was killed in fighting in Syria last year.

Krone Zeitung newspaper quoted an unnamed Tunisian woman who lived with the two Austrians in Raqqa as saying Kesinovic was murdered.

The Tunisian, who was also an Isil volunteer for a woman, later escaped.
Kesinovic and Selimovic were both children of Bosnian refugees who fled to Austria from the war in their country during the nineties.

Their families reported them missing after they disappeared from their homes in Vienna last year.

They reportedly left a note for their families which read: “Don’t look for us. We will serve Allah and we will die for him.”

They were traced as taking a flight to the Turkish capital of Ankara, and travelling on to the region of Adana, close to the border with Syria.

It emerged they had joined Isil after Kesinovic telephoned her sister from Syria to let her know she was alright.

She reportedly wrote home late last year telling family she wanted to return and that she has had enough of the extreme violence she witnessed every day.

It is believed they both married Isil jihadists in Syria. Selimovic later denied reports she was pregnant in an exchange of SMSes to the magazine Paris Match, and claimed she was happy in Syria.

“Here I can really be free. I can practise my religion. I couldn’t do that in Vienna,” she told the magazine.

Reports of her death first emerged last year from David Scharia, an expert at the UN security council’s counter-terrorism committee.

“We received information just recently about two 15-year-old girls, of Bosnian origin, who left Austria,” he said.

“Both were recruited by Islamic State. One was killed in the fighting in Syria, the other has disappeared.”

It now seems that the disappearance was explained by Kesinovic’s murder.

Authorities have accused a Bosnian Islamic preacher living in Vienna of recruiting the two women for Isil. He has denied the accusation.

Named only as Mirsad O under Austrian privacy laws, he is also known as Abu Tejda.

He was arrested last year over separate allegations he was part of a terrorist funding network.

Both women’s families were warned that one of them was feared dead by the Austrian authorities last year.

Neither family has commented on the latest reports.

Can't feel sorry for her when it was her choice to go there

Thoughts? Really? The whole situation sucks. Nobody should be getting killed over there and especially not over something so fucking stupid. Religion is fucked up and has been since it's inception.

Religion has no merit, no positives.

Well if one can talk, write and have daily conversation with their parents. Then it shouldn't be looked as brainwashed at all. It looks like it was her own choice to join them :shrug

I wonder how many guys she rooted before she converted.

I don't have sympathy for people who join hate groups. I'd have even less sympathy for someone who joined the KKK or some neo nazis after they put out video after video of them lynching black people. Same situation - if this was some jihadist group that preached death to western civilisation, I wouldn't have a lot of sympathy but the fact that they put out murder videos?

Oh you got murdered? Ooh how about I jump on a plane and ask your murderer to marry me? You beat a girl to death? This is definitely the rebellion of choice for me!

Wait, they don't like homosexuality? And they're murdering me? Aw shucks man, I thought they'd just murder other people - this is fucked up, you guys!


I have too much empathy for my own good on most issues (it's not a bad thing, just draining) but you want to witness horrific acts of murder and go over and join those guys? Go over and fuck one of them? I think the whole situation's tragic but I don't weep for her death, it's what you deserve if you decide to join the lynch mob.

Tell me the pretty white girl syndrome isn't going to turn this abominable human being into a sympathetic victim. I get that if you're white then it can hit closer to home and be more relateable, I have both white and black family so both these groups can have that effect, but you can't let that actually dictate how you ultimately judge a situation. You know damn well that a Middle Eastern or South Asian girl, pretty or otherwise, would not be seen as a sympathetic damsel and I hope that won't be the case here.

It's impossible for me or anyone to "bring race into it" - it's already part of the package, some just automatically dismiss it as irrelevant. It may be irrelevant and that's my point: I hope it is. I think we'd all agree that her being female makes a difference to her level of sympathy right? And her being pretty makes a difference also yes? Likewise, whether you're of the same ethnicity as the majority of readers is a potentially significant variable whether you personally are uncomfortable with the topic or not. I think most people get this.

If she wasn't attractive everyone was a young British-Asian lad, everyone would say "they got what they deserved." Personally, if someone makes the decision to turn their life around, even if they've gone as far as joining ISIS, they shouldn't be condemned.
