A gun-toting Iraqi housewife has boasted of beheading Islamic State (Isis) militants before boiling their heads in cooking pots.
Grandmother
Wahida Mohamed Al-Jumaily says her brutal treatment of the extremists
is to avenge the deaths of her two husbands, three brothers and her
father who were killed by Isis.
The 39-year-old, who carries a Beretta 9-mm pistol in a holster under her arm, says that her actions have led to personal threats from IS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. So respected in battle after 12 years of skirmishes with IS, and their predecessors, she now commands 70 soldiers in Shirqat, northern Iraq, it is claimed.

So respected in battle after 12 years of skirmishes with IS, and their predecessors, she now commands 70 soldiers in Shirqat, northern Iraq, it is claimed.
Shirqat, around 50 miles (80km) south of Mosul in
Salahuddin province, has recently been liberated from the terrorists
after took over the town in 2014. Her battles with the extremists have
left her with shrapnel in her head and legs and broken ribs, she says.
And
the brash mother-of-two daughters, better known as Um Hanadi, posts her
exploits to her Facebook page – where she shows off severed heads and
stands amongst dead militants. She told CNN: "I fought them. I beheaded them. I cooked their heads, I burned their bodies.
"This is all documented. You can see it on my Facebook page."
She
says she is so hated by Isis that their fighters have planted car bombs
outside her home at least eight times (in 2006, 2009, 2010, three in
2013 and one in 2014) and they have even killed her livestock.
Al-Jumaily believes that Isis warlord al-Baghdad desperately wants to
kill her: "I'm at the top of their most wanted list - even more than the
Prime Minister".
She added: "Six times they tried to assassinate
me. I have shrapnel in my head and legs, and my ribs were broken. But
all that didn't stop me from fighting."
Al-Jumaily,
who describes herself as a "rabat manzal" (a housewife), began working
with the government to fight terror groups in 2004. She has fought
terrorists in many guises as Isis began life as al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia,
the Mujahideen Shura Council, al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) and Islamic State
of Iraq (ISI) before their current incarnation.
