Her name was “Elvira,” and her treachery cost several ISIS members their lives before the caliphate’s spy hunters tracked her down and executed her, according to the latest issue of the Islamic State’s Russian-language online magazine.
(FOX)- The article in Istok, titled “Elvira Karaeva – Agent of the Russian Special Services,” focuses on a woman whom ISIS in the Caucasus accused of being an agent of the Russian intelligence services.
According to the piece, Karaeva worked as a spy for four years, during which she secretly passed along information on the jihadi groups in the Caucasus, including locations and photographs of ISIS fighters.
The article notes that although Karaeva was questioned by ISIS’s “investigative authorities,” she was able to convince them of her innocence. But when the terror network used a “cunning investigative maneuver,” the woman confessed and was later executed by an ISIS member, according to the article.
“Elvira the apostate gave information to the Russian special services about our brothers and sisters waging jihad in the patch of Allah in the Caucasus Province,” the article says.
“She shamelessly wormed her way into the confidence of true servants of Allah and then disclosed their location and contacts, thus making them easy prey for the henchmen of taghut,” the piece continues. “Because of her contemptible actions and close contacts with the FSB [i.e. the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation], many of our brothers and sisters became martyrs.”
