Sabina Selimovic (c. 16 February 1999 – unknown),[1] and Samra Kesinovic (c. 25 September 1997 – unknown),[2] were two teenaged Austrian nationals who at the height of the ascendancy of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant militia's conquests in the Middle East in April 2014, abandoned their family homes in Central Europe and illicitly travelled to Syria to join it.
[3] In April 2014, the pair left their homes in Vienna, illicitly, without telling their families of their intentions,[3] leaving a note for their parents stating: "Don't look for us.
The pair later posted photographs from Islamic State territory on social media websites for Jihadist propaganda.
[3] Information obtained by the French news magazine Paris Match shortly afterwards disclosed that the two girls had been married to two Chechen Jihadists, and that they had expressed fears of imprisonment back in Austria for their activities on social media as Islamic State propagandists should they return home.
[3] In late 2015, it was reported by the Middle East bureau of The Daily Telegraph newspaper that Kesinovic had been beaten to death after being caught by Islamic State forces whilst trying to escape from the city of Raqqa.
