“I beheaded my enemies, cooked their heads n burned their bodies” – Militant Leader

Wahida Mohamed Al-Jumaily, a 39-year-old grandmother has lost loved ones in her battle with the terror group - her second husband was killed earlier this year, and jihadists have also killed her father and three brothers.

Holding aloft the severed head of an enemy, this militia leader is one of the people most feared by ISIS in Iraq.

In response, the military leader - who describes herself as a 'housewife' - said, she beheaded her enemies, cooked their heads and burned their bodies.

Al-Jumaily, better known as Um Hanadi, heads 70-strong tribal militia group in Shirqat, around 50 miles south of Mosul.

She has helped government forces drive ISIS away, and says she is now top of the group's hit list, having survived six assassination attempts and received threats from top leaders.

Last week she led a group of 50 fighters into the Shirqat city centre and seized control from ISIS terrorists, Iraqi media reports.

Video shows her commanding units ahead of operations aimed to strike at the heart of ISIS.

She said her two daughters, aged 22 and 20, are trained and ready to fight, but are currently focused on looking after their children.

The militia leader said ISIS supporters had planted car bombs outside her home in 2006, 2009, 2010, and made three attempts on her life in 2013 and 2014.

She was badly injured, and has scars showing where shrapnel was left in her head and legs.

'But all that didn't stop me from fighting,' she said.

General Jamaa Anad, who commands ground forces in the Salahuddin province, told CNN that the military has provided Um Hanadi with vehicles and weapons.
