The threat comes as the last outpost of their 'caliphate' faces defeat by Kurdish forces
ISIS brides in Syrian refugee camps have vowed chilling revenge as the last outpost of their "caliphate" faces defeat by Kurdish forces.

The woman, feared to be among thousands of unrepentant fanatics who have fled Baghouz and surrendered to US-backed Kurdish forces, added: "We have left, but there will be new conquests in the future."
Civilians have been streaming out of the encampment in Baghouz - the last area in Syria which remains under the control of so-called Islamic State - since December, reports .
But US-backed Kurdish coalition forces fear they initially underestimated the number of brainwashed ISIS followers left inside.
'THE ISLAMIC STATE IS HERE TO STAY'
In the last two days, 12,000 people from Baghouz arrived in one camp for non-combatants in northern Syria.
At an outpost for US-backed forces outside the village, a group of women stood in front of journalists and pointed to the sky shouting:"The Islamic State is here to stay."
The gesture is used by IS supporters to proclaim the oneness of God.
The caliphate will not end, because it has been ingrained in the hearts and brains of the newborns and the little ones

Many of the women leaving the bastion told AFP they wanted to raise their children using ISIS ideology.
One 60-year-woman, who did not want to be named, said that ISIS will continue because the boys under the terror group's rule have been trained to fight from a young age.
She said: "The caliphate will not end, because it has been ingrained in the hearts and brains of the newborns and the little ones."
Some of the civilians threw rocks at the cameras. Another screamed at a photographer and called him a "pig".
And a bearded man with a leg wound said:"I only surrendered because of my injury. I have been with IS since the beginning."
THOUSANDS FLEE
Adnan Afrin, a spokesman for the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said on Thursday of those who'd fled Baghouz: "They're coming from underground... they're never-ending."
The International Rescue Committee on Friday said as many as 12,000 people from Baghouz have arrived in one camp for non-combatants in northeast Syria over the past 48 hours, including some 6,000 people on Thursday alone.
More than 55,000 civilians have arrived in the Kurdish-run Al-Hol camp since December, according to the International Rescue Committee.
