Mysterious Woman From Canada’s Rapid Rise In ISIS Puzzles Intel Analysts

An unidentified woman who left Canada for the caliphate barely two months ago has shown up in every corner of the Islamic State’s bloody realm, from Mosul, Kobani, Aleppo and Raqqa, and several stops in between.

A mysterious jihadist who left her home in Canada in late November to join ISIS has toured the caliphate like a VIP, appearing in key locations throughout Syria and Iraq and prompting intel analysts to wonder what is behind her seemingly elevated status.

Little is known about the woman who calls herself "Lama Sharif al-Shammari" on Twitter and who terrorism experts simply call “L.A.” They believe she left Canada some time after Nov. 23 to join Islamic State, arrived on Dec. 8 and was in Syria as recently as Tuesday. Analysts believe she may be a Sunni Muslim of Saudi descent.

But what sets "L.A." apart from thousands of radicalized foreigners who have flocked from North America and Europe to the terrorist army's killing fields is that her Twitter account shows she has been to virtually every corner of Islamic State's bloody realm within a three-week period, according to analysts. They believe her whirlwind itinerary indicates she is somehow significant and has risen inexplicably through the ranks.

The title sucks....People can't write anymore, I guess.

If they know 'exactly' where she is, why hasn't someone just gone and shot her?

What, and demonstrate how oppressive the West is to women? LOL

Personally, I have no great confidence in our intelligence apparatus. I think it has pretty much been neutered.

Couldn’t see where, in Canada, she was from. My guess is Montreal or Toronto.

They really need to wonder why she’s a VIP? Uh... A bunch of savage horny dirty savage beasts embracing the most vial disgusting depths of human behavior are using her as a comfort woman like the Japanese did back in WW2. But she’s volunteering for it. Mark my words.

This probably indicates that she is contributing significant funds to ISIS…and/or she is writing wonderful things about them in a fairly professional way.

"Personally recommended by ValJar?"

Unlikely.

ValJar speaks and lobbies for the Shia.
She was born in Iran.

It's the Usurper who advocates for the Sunnis (Brotherhood and ISIS.)
The Saudis are his benefactors/stringpullers.

She’s all over the map. Perhaps they could write a children’s book about her called “Where’s Whacko?” Scratch that — they couldn’t depict her in a crowd because everyone but her would be decapitated, crucified or otherwise dead in a pool of blood.

If she’s running with ISIS she’s just another number on the hit list.

So hit.
