Such a pity!!! Poster girl for Kurdish freedom fighters in Kobane 'captured and beheaded by ISIS'

A female Kurdish fighter who became a poster
girl for the Kobane resistance movement after
a picture of her making a peace sign was
retweeted thousands of times on Twitter has
reportedly been beheaded by Isis.
The woman, known by the pseudonym
Rehana, was celebrated as a symbol of hope
for the embattled Syrian border town after a
journalist tweeted a picture of her making a
'V-sign', claiming that she'd personally killed
100 Isis militants.
The message was retweeted over 5,000 times,
but there are now claims Rehana, who fought
for the Kurdish YPJ, or Women's Defense Unit,
may have been killed after gruesome pictures
began circulating on Twitter of an Isis fighter
purportedly holding aloft her head. Perched on the other side of the Turkish
border, the Syrian town of Kobane has been
under an intense assault by Isis, or the so-
called Islamic State, for more than a month.
The town - surrounded on the east, south and
west by Isis - is being defended by Kurdish
forces in Syria.
Among those fighters are thousands of
women, an unusual phenomenon in the
Muslim world in which warfare is often
associated with manhood.
In April, Kurdish fighters created all-female
combat units that have grown to include more
than 10,000 women. These female fighters have played a major role
in battles against IS, said Nasser Haj Mansour,
a defense official in Syria's Kurdish region.
The Kurdish women now find themselves
battling militants preaching an extreme form of
Islam dictating that women only leave the
house if absolutely necessary.
One Kurdish female fighter, who uses the nom
de guerre of Afshin Kobani, used to be a
teacher.
Now, the Kurdish Syrian woman has traded
the classroom for the front lines in the battle
for the town.
