An American ISIS widow whose son appeared in propaganda videos has defended buying Yazidi sex slaves in Syria and says she dreams of returning to the US with her four children to eat McDonalds.
Sam El Hassani, also known as Samantha Sally, is currently in a Kurdish prison in Syria with her children after being taken into custody following ISIS's collapse in Raqqa.
The 32-year-old's ISIS-fighting husband Moussa El Hassani was killed last year in a drone strike.
Over time, she said the couple bought two female teenage slaves and a young boy. The first slave was a girl named Soad, now aged 17, who El Hassani said she paid $10,000 for.
El Hassani said her husband repeatedly raped the two girls but she defended her decision to purchase them because she offered them protection.
'In every house that she was in before that was the same situation, but she did not have the support of someone like me,' El Hassani told CNN.
'I would never apologize for bringing those girls to my house. They had me and I had them.
'In any other situation they would be locked in a bedroom and fed tea every day. We cooked together, we cleaned together. Drank coffee together. Slept in the same room together. I was like their mother.'
Soad sent CNN a video message from an Iraqi refugee camp confirming that El Hassani rescued her.
She said her children also became victims, especially her son Matthew who became the subject of ISIS propaganda videos in which he vowed revenge on US President Donald Trump.
