An Austrian teenager who became a poster girl for the Islamic State has reportedly been beaten to death by the group after she was caught trying to leave Syria.

Sabra Kesinovic, 17, was murdered after she was caught attempting to escape from Raqqa, Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant's (Isil) de facto capital in Syria, according to reports in two Austrian newspapers.

She appeared extensively in Isil propaganda material after leaving her native Vienna to join the group together with Sabina Selimovic, a 16-year-old friend.

The two teenagers were shown wearing Islamic headbands and brandishing Kalashnikov rifles, surrounded by masked male jihadists.

They were also shown wearing full Islamic veils and pointing towards heaven.

The Austrian government refused to comment on reports in Österreich and Kronen Zeitung newspapers that Kesinovic had been beaten to death.

“We cannot comment on individual cases,” Thomas Schnöll, a spokesman for the foreign ministry said.

Both Austrian women are now believed to be dead, after reports Selimovic was killed in fighting in Syria last year.

For some reason she looks happier in one picture than the other. Stupid girl.

It's two different girls.

What did she think was going to happen, they'd buy her a leaving present and throw a party?

[Cujo]

What? no outpouring of sympathy?

[Black Heart]

It's good they are both dead.

They joined a mass murdering group by choice - and then were fake enough to try to leave.

It's better they are dead.

What a waste- why wasn't she sold into slavery instead?

It is not stated where their nationality,hardly matters as a parent who allows a 15 year old to join ISIS has already lost ..

Of course girls won have to travel soon the ISIs folks are on Europe now.

They probably joined for the shock value. But I truly believe that they were mentally ill enough to think that it was something they could just leave after awhile. We know it was suicide for them to go down there. I don't think they did.

Probably just propaganda to stir up the gullible. I find it difficult to believe anything the media says any longer about so called terrorists and terrorism.
