Widow of Australian ISIS terrorist reportedly died in Syria following appendicitis complications

The widow of a notorious Australian ISIS supporter has reportedly died in Syria due to medical complications.

Tara Nettleton, 31, died from appendicitis complications in late 2015, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.

Her death has orphaned her five children and eight-week-old granddaughter.

Nettleton died after she had just become a grandmother when her daughter 14-year-old Zaynab gave birth to her first child, fathered by terrorist and her father’s best friend Mohamed Elomar, according to reports.

Elomar married Nettleton's daughter last year when she was 13 years old.

Nettleton was the widow of terrorist Khaled Sharrouf.

The family was reportedly living in the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa after they abandoned life in suburban Sydney two years ago.

Nettleton’s mother, Karen, had previously pleaded with Australian authorities to help bring her daughter and grandchildren home.

She claimed they were stranded after the 31-year-old made ‘the worst mistake of her life’.

Nettleton and Sharrouf leave behind their children Zaynab, 14, Hoda, 13, Abdullah, 11, Zaqawi, 10, and Humzeh. five.

A friend of Nettleton’s parents, Robert van Alst, told Fairfax her parents were concerned for their grandchildren.

They were described as ‘innocent Australian kids’.

During Nettleton’s time in Syria she posed for photos with a number of other jihadi brides.

The women, dressed in black, were pictured holding rifles and an ISIS flag while standing in front of a BMW.

Sharrouf sickened the world by sharing a picture of his son holding the severed head of a Syrian soldier.

Sharrouf captioned the shocking image: 'That's my boy'.

The terrorist was reportedly killed in drone strikes last year along with Elomar.

In a statement last year Nettleton’s mother said her daughter wanted to come home.

She said she tried to maintain a relationship with her daughter once the family fled to Syria.

Nettleton married Sharrouf in the mid 2000s and she converted to Islam and had a child.

A neighbour said she had her first child at 17.

Attorney-General George Brandis has not confirmed reports of Nettleton’s death.

Speaking with the Australian, Mr Brandis said he was disturbed that parents would ‘willingly take up arms on behalf of ISIL and expose their children to the risk of being injured, killed or left to fend for themselves’.
