“As a sniper I could be on the front line for nine days at a time. You have to be very patient. You have to focus. You cannot lose concentration for one moment”

Her actions came to the attention of the Danish authorities, who banned her from traveling to the region when she returned from fighting in September 2015

Unable to leave her comrades to fight alone, she broke her ban and flew back to Iraq. She walked for seven hours through the night to cross the border into Syria
