British medical student, 22, who fled to join ISIS ‘is killed in Iraq airstrike’ but husband and baby survive
Rowan Kamal Zine El Abidine was wiped out by an air strike in Iraq on Thursday
A MEDICAL student has become the first British female ISIS recruit to be killed – after she was wiped out by an air strike in Iraq.
Brainwashed Rowan Kamal Zine El Abidine, 22, died on Thursday, although her husband and baby daughter reportedly survived the attack.
According to reports in Sudan, where El Abidine's family are from, the tragic young woman’s relatives have set up a ‘mourning tent’ near their home in Sudanese capital Khartoum.
Reports in the country did not specify where in Iraq the former medical student was killed.
However, ISIS’s foreign recruits usually live near the death cult’s main base in Mosul.
Before becoming a Jihadi bride, El Abidine left Britain to attend the University of Medical Sciences and Technology in Khartoum.
Last year, El Abidine and eight other British students from the same university left Sudan to join the murderous terror thugs in the so-called Islamic State.
The student flew to Turkey where they crossed into the ISIS-controlled town of Tal Abyad, Syria.
El Abidine and her friends planned to work in hospitals controlled by the warped minds of the Islamic death group.
The youngsters, some in their late-teens, informed their families via WhatsApp about their decision to join the barbaric militants.
The other Brits who joined ISIS are Lena Abdelgadir, Nada Sami Kader, Ismail Hamadoun, Tasneem Suleyman Huseyin, Tamer Ahmed Ebu Sebah, Mohamed Osama Badri Mohammed, Hisham Fadlallah and Sami Ahmed Kadir.
The Foreign Office was unable to confirm El Abidine's death.
