Questions Surround Teen and Other Foreign Women Found After ISIS Defeat in Mosul

Questions Surround Teen and Other Foreign Women Found After ISIS Defeat in Mosul MAINZ, Germany — Authorities in Germany are working to establish whether a teenage girl who was among five women captured in the former ISIS stronghold of Mosul last week is a 16-year-old German thought to have fled to Iraq after being radicalized online. Iraqi forces found a teenager of foreign origin hiding in the cellar of a house in the Old Mosul neighborhood as they routed ISIS from the key city last week. The girl was at first believed to be Yazidi — a religious minority persecuted by ISIS in northern Iraq — because she spoke little Arabic and had fair skin, officials says. "This girl is not Iraqi and security officials are working to identify her nationality," an officer from Iraq's Joint Operation Command, who did not want to be identified, told NBC News. "The five of them are jihadi women who served with ISIS,” he added, without providing further details.
