ISIS jihadis have threatened to forcibly marry any female fighters they manage to capture in a message delivered to the Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, Colonel Nahida Ahmad Rashid, commanding officer of the 2nd Battalion Peshmerga Female, said that the jihadis even plan to wed women they are ‘disgusted’ by.
‘I have told all my frontline soldiers to keep one bullet in their pocket in case they are captured,’ she reveals. ‘I never want any of them to be captured by ISIS.’
So far, Colonel Rashid and her fighters have not needed to use their spare bullets, although she says that other PKK [Kurdistan Worker’s Party] soldiers fighting in the Syrian town of Kobane have been forced to do so.’Last week, one of the PKK fighters found herself alone and surrounded by ISIS after all her friends had been killed. She shot herself rather than let them take her.’
