A YOUNG student from Seattle has been revealed as a senior female ISIS agent responsible for recruiting women to join the terror group.

On Twitter, she is known as @_UmmWaqqas, and is pictured shrouded head-to-toe in black; an inscrutable and high-ranking officer of ISIS who boasts more than 8000 followers online, and is in close contact with the British, Americans and the jihadi brides in Syria.

Channel 4 News has since revealed her identity as a woman in her 20s who went to school in the US, and by her friends’ accounts grew up as a regular teenager in a Western world.

Although her official Twitter account has been suspended, @_UmmWaqqas’ tweets are available on Favstar, an online service that tracks Twitter and its usage.

Has she been taken into custody?

If not, why not?

The news site discovered the woman’s identity by closely reading Tweets pertaining to her “offline” world, and matching the pictures she posted on Twitter to popular locations in Seattle. Eventually, they were able to identify @_UmmWaqqas’s movements, based on a timeline of her events and her activities, as well as tracking her name on Facebook.

So she was dressing like a slut? Why hasn't she been stoned to death?

Shouldn’t she immediately receive a clitodectomy and be stoned to death? After all...she is a moozlum.

LOL - the girl is a journalism student?

“The greatest thing that a man can do for a women is to bring her closer to Allah”.

So funny. She doesn’t know the difference between the singular and plural of the word woman. Typical not-very-bright journalist.

If they know who she is why haven’t they outed her by publishing her real name?
