Two teenagers who became ‘poster girls’ for Isis when they left Austria for Syria are now pregnant – and say they want to come home.
Samra Kesinovic, 17, and Sabina Selimovic, 15, left Vienna to take part in the so-called holy war in April, telling parents in a note not to look for them because they had gone ‘to serve and die for Allah.’
However Austrian newspaper Oesterreich reports that the pair – who quickly became poster girls for the radical Islamist group – now say they want to return home after being married off to two Chechen fighters and becoming pregnant.
A spokesman for Austria’s Interior Ministry said, however, that a return is unlikely.
‘The main problem is about people coming back to Austria. Once they leave it is almost impossible,’ said Karl-Heinz Grundboeck.

Since the girls arrived in Isis’ proclaimed capital of Raqqa in northern Syria, they have become a potent propaganda tool for the terror group, with their social media accounts – believed to have been taken over by Isis communications experts – showing the pair smiling and wearing traditional clothing, flanked by armed fighters.
Security experts have warned that their ill-found fame will make it hard for them to get away undetected.
The news comes despite reports last month that one of the girls had been killed.
