(Deutsche Welle) When Jenan Moussa, an acclaimed war reporter for the Arab TV channel Al Aan, received the contents of a smart phone from a “trusted source,” she immediately knew she had been handed a treasure trove.
The phone, she says, belonged to an Omaima A. — a German citizen of Tunisian descent. The contents of the phone — thousands of chat messages and photographs, as well as flight details and screenshots of official papers — document Omaima A.’s journey from Germany to the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS) in early 2015.
Only a few months earlier, the terror group had proclaimed its “caliphate.”
“The moment I saw the content I realized this is an uncensored view on the life of an ISIS woman,” Moussa told DW.
