Asked if she had ever witnessed an ISIS execution, Begum said: "No never. But I saw a beheaded head in the bin."
She then clarified the heads belonged to captured soldiers who had been brutally murdered by Islamist thugs.
Begum said: "When I saw my first severed head in a bin it didn’t faze me at all.
"It was from a captured fighter seized on the battlefield, an enemy of Islam.
"I thought only of what he would have done to a Muslim woman if he had the chance.”
The heavily pregnant teen surfaced in a Syrian refugee camp and says she doesn’t regret her decision to join the murderous cult.
