Austrian teenage girl jihadist 'killed in Syria'
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/austria/11098039/Austrian-teenage-girl-jihadist-killed-in-Syria.html
One of two young Austrian women who travelled to Syria to fight with Islamic extremists has reportedly been killed just months after arriving in the country.
Sabina Selimovic, 15, and Samra Kesinovic, 16, both the daughters of immigrant families from Bosnia, left their homes in Vienna in April with the apparent intention of fighting for Syrian rebels.
They are thought to have travelled to Turkey and then to have crossed the border into Syria, having become radicalised after attending a local mosque in Vienna and reading about jihad on the internet.
Two teenage girls joined ISIS. I wonder how many Westerners like them join ISIS. :o

How did they get there? Who paid for their tickets, food, etc?
I mean it is good they are dead and all but there are a lot of questions on what led to that...

That's too bad...too bad one of them is likely still alive, that is.

Funny, those don't sound like Austrian names.

From the article:
... both the daughters of immigrant families from Bosnia ...
They would have been born in 1998 and 1999. Given the events of the time, they were probably born in Austria.
