Sabina Selimovic and Samra Kesinovic

Sabina Selimovic, and Samra Kesinovic, were two teenaged Austrian nationals who, at the height of the ascendancy of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant militia's conquests in the Middle East in April 2014, abandoned their family homes in Central Europe and illicitly travelled to Syria to join it. Their actions drew substantial media commentary due to the ongoing media reports of en masse barbarity that the Islamic State forces were engaging in, and raised questions as to why people of European extraction would be drawn to such an entity.

Background
Selimovic and Kesinovic were born in Austria to Bosniak immigrants who had fled the Bosnian War in the 1990s. Both girls were residents with their families in stable homes in Vienna, and are thought to have become radicalised after attending a local mosque in Vienna and reading about jihad on the internet. ==Departure to join the Islamic State==

The pair later posted photographs from Islamic State territory on social media websites for Jihadist propaganda. ==Purported deaths==

Selimovic and Kesinovic were subsequently reported to be seeking a means of returning to Austria only six months later, around October 2014, though another article stated that Selimovic had been killed around September 2014 at the age of 16 during fighting in Syria. As of 2024, the girls' fates and whereabouts remain unknown. ==See also==
