American girl whose mother died after joining Isis rescued from Syria

An American girl whose mother fled the US to join Isis has been rescued and is awaiting approval to return to the country after her parents were killed living under the terror group, a report has said.

According to BuzzFeed, the eight-year-old girl, who grew up under ISIS control, was born on 8 December 2012, in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Her mother, Ariel Bradley, was reported to have been a US citizen who grew up as an evangelical Christian before converting to Islam and marrying the girl’s father, Yasin Mohamad, in 2011.

According to the outlet, when Bradley became pregnant, she returned to the US to give birth in her hometown before returning to Sweden where she had been living with Mohamad.

Buzzfeed previously ran a profile on Bradley in 2015 in which friends revealed that she often changed her personality to fit in with her relationships.
