1/ Remember German ISIS woman Omaima Abdi whose phone I found in Syria? Among many pics on phone was this one. I wondered who she was. A German journalist now confirms to me this is ISIS woman Daniela Giese. Giese also from Hamburg &was in Syria. This is 1st pic of her in Syria.

2/ The German journalist covered the recent trial against Giese in Hamburg and recognized Giese from the pic. Giese, just like Abdi, joined ISIS in Syria & also returned to Germany. Both women are from Hamburg and the pic of Giese on Abdi's phone suggests the women met in Syria.
3/ In my show on @akhbar I also spoke to Yazidi journalist @saman1dawod who lives in Germany. Most ISIS women receive sentences from 2-7 yrs. "These are low," he said. "Verdicts against ISIS women in Germany don't meet expectations of Yazidi community."
4/ In same episode I interviewed @IlonaTaimela, who is a Finnish teacher. Via Whatsapp she taught children of ISIS women in Al Hol camp in NE Syria. She believes education can help in the deradicalization process & make the children a bit less vulnerable
