(NY Post) The epitome of an “all-American” girl, Samantha Marie Elhassani — a.k.a Samantha Sally, better known as Sam — was a Jehovah’s Witness from the blue-collar Indiana heartland who knocked on the door of ISIS and found hell on earth.
A mother of three who had been working in a low-paying warehouse job and formerly married to a US Army serviceman, Sam made headlines in 2015 when she accompanied her second husband to strife-torn Raqqa, in Syria, home to ISIS.
He was a Moroccan-American Muslim — radicalized by watching terrifying ISIS videos online while getting high.
There, the pair joined ISIS’ so-called caliphate where beheadings and other mind-numbing atrocities were a way of life — he served as a fighter who would eventually be killed, and she as something of a propagandist and fundraiser.
