Samlingstråd för Islamiska Statens (IS) illdåd, brott mot mänskligheten

One of the three East London schoolgirls who left the UK to become 'jihadi brides' in Syria has confirmed that she is now living in the Islamic State - by tweeting a picture of chicken and chips.

Amira Abase, 15, left Bethnal Green with Shamima Begum 15, and Kadiza Sultana, 16, in February, and is believed to be living in the Syrian city of Raqqa.

Now, nearly two months after her departure, Amira has shared a snippet of life in the Islamic State -
posting an online photo of her enjoying a takeaway dinner with another teenage 'jihadi bride'.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Abase and her two classmates had joined the fearsome group of British female jihadis who run Isis's ultra-religious police force.

Shamima Begum has forged social media links with three of the British leaders of the al-Khansa brigade – an all-women militia set up by the terror group a year ago. It is understood the trio are now training with one of the notorious female arms of Isis.

Covered in black from head to toe and wielding automatic weapons, the group has been accused of doling out savage beatings on the streets of Raqqa, and spying on its citizens.

They are said to mercilessly patrol the streets of the terror group's adopted capital, and have previously declared that children as young as nine should be married. They say women should obey men – who are their masters – and remain 'hidden and veiled' at all times.

BEIRUT, April 28 (Reuters) - Ultra-radical Islamic State insurgents have killed at least 2,154 people off the battlefield in Syria since the end of June when the group declared a caliphate in territory it controls, a Syrian human rights monitor said on Tuesday.

The killings of mostly Syrians included deaths by beheading, stoning or gunshots in non-combat situations, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, urging the United Nations Security Council to act.
