Inside twisted mind of ISIS’ most powerful bride turned informer who put makeup on sex slaves to prepare them for rape

AN ISIS bride who would put makeup on the cult’s sex slaves to "prepare them for rape" is helping track down the world's most wanted man.

Nisrine Assad Ibrahim, 29, better known by her nom de guerre Umm Sayyaf, has become a key informant assisting the CIA and Kurdish intelligence hunt terror chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

ISIS leader Baghdadi, who has a £20m bounty on his head, is believed to be hiding in either Syria or Iraq and reappeared in footage released by ISIS in April.

It has now emerged that Sayyaf, once a brainwashed sadist, helped pin point a location in Mosul which was being used as a hideout by the sick terror chief, The Guardian reports.

She has helped intelligence officials build a detailed map of Baghdadi’s movements and networks, investigators said.

Sayyaf was captured by US Delta Force soldiers in Syria during a raid in May 2015 which killed her husband – a senior ISIS minister.

Despite her willingness to help western authorities, the 29-year-old is alleged to have carried out some despicable crimes.

BRAINWASHED ISIS BRIDE

She is accused of helping to enslave US aid worker Kayla Mueller and nine Yazidi women and underage girls who were raped by twisted terror bosses.

Human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, wife of Oscar winner George, told the UN security council last month about Sayyaf's involvement in the sex slavery.

She said the ISIS bride “locked them [the captives] in a room, instigated their beatings and put makeup on them to ‘prepare them for rape’.”

Mrs Clooney has requested the prisoner’s transfer to the US to face justice.

'PREPARED GIRLS FOR RAPE'

However, Sayyaf has already been sentenced to death in Erbil, Iraq, and a security official told the Guardian that she will never be released, despite her assistance in the hunt for Baghdadi.

The 29-year-old told the UK news outlet about how she identified the ISIS leader’s safe house in February 2016.

She said: “I told them where the house was.

“I knew he’d been there because it was one of the houses that was provided for him, and one of the places he liked the most.”



Yazidi women used as ISIS sex slaves

  • Figures suggest almost 10,000 Yazidis have either been killed or kidnapped by ISIS and there are horrifying accounts of mass rape.
  • The Yazidis are a religious sect whose beliefs combine elements of several ancient Middle Eastern religions.
  • But ISIS considers them devil worshippers and its attacks on the group were condemned as a “genocide” by the United Nations.
  • Many Yazidis have been able to flee the clutches of the terror group after the collapse of their last remaining stronghold in Baghouz, eastern Syria.
  • But in March, it was reported that families of around 3,000 others still missing fear they may never see their loved ones again.

However, Kurdish officials said the US military commanders refused to bomb the house located in a densely-populated area of Mosul for fear of civilian casualties.

They later conceded that Baghdadi probably had been inside the home.

When questioned about the rape and torture of American aid worker Kayla and the Yazidi women, Sayyaf denied being involved.

She said: “Whatever he (Baghdadi ) did, did not involve me.”

The former senior ISIS member claims Baghdadi would visit their house for only a “few hours” claiming her home was “normal”.

Kayla is believed to have died in Raqqa in February 2015 after being sexually abused by the wanted terror chief.

Asked where Baghdadi is now, Sayyaf believes he may have returned to Iraq.

She said: “He never felt good in Syria, he always wanted to be in Iraq.

“He would only come to do something and leave. The last I heard of him, he wanted to go to Qaim and Bukamal, but that was some time ago.”

Sayyaf was married to Fathi Ben Awn Ben Jildi Murad al-Tunis – known as Abu Sayyaf – a close friend of Baghdadi and senior member of ISIS.

Other members of her family – including her maternal aunt – reportedly held key roles within the group.

According to the Guardian, these ties to the leadership meant she was closer to Baghdadi than “nearly all other ISIS women.”

She said the terror boss would often visit her home to record audio propaganda messages.

Sayyaf said: “He used to do that in our sitting room in Taji [a town in central Iraq].

“My husband was the [ISIS] media chief then, and Baghdadi would visit often.”

The hideout she identified had been prepared by her aunt who runs the ISIS leader's "safe house network" and whose two sons died fighting for the brainwashed cult.

A senior Kurdish intelligence official praised Sayyaf's work as an informant.

He said: “She gave us a really clear picture of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s family structure and the people who mattered most to him.

“We learned about the wives of the people around him in particular, and that has been very useful for us."
