An Iraqi housewife has boasted of cutting the heads off Isis soldiers and boiling them in a cooking pot.

Wahida Mohamed, 39, has lost two husbands, three brothers and her father to the terrorist organisation.

So she decided to start fighting back against the group and now commands 70 soldiers in Shirqat, Iraq, it is claimed.

Ms Mohamed, better known as Um Hanadi, shares posts on her Facebook page showing her proudly brandishing severed heads and standing amongst corpses.

One image seemingly shows the heads of two men in a large metal cooking pot.

The fighter, who has scars on her face from multiple explosions, told CNN: “I fought them. I beheaded them.

"I cooked their heads, I burned their bodies.

"This is all documented," she added. "You can see it on my Facebook page."

Um Hanadi, who has two grown-up daughters still alive, said she began working with the government to fight terror groups in 2004.

Her work with Iraqi security forces attracted the attention of what eventually became al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, and later Isis supremo Abu Bakr.

She told the news channel: "I received threats from the top leadership of Isis, including from Abu Bakr himself.

"I'm at the top of their most wanted list - even more than the Prime Minister."

She said she has had car bombs planted outside her home at least six times and most of her family and livestock have been killed in the fighting.

"Six times they tried to assassinate me," she added. "I have shrapnel in my head and legs, and my ribs were broken. But all that didn't stop me from fighting.”
