Pregnant woman held by jihadis pleads for US to bomb prison

A pregnant woman held captive by Islamic State forces pleaded for American jets to bomb her prison — because death would be a better fate than her current torment.

“Let those jets come to bomb us and save us from this situation by killing all of us,” the Daily Mail reported of the woman’s words to her husband, revealing the hellish life that captives in terrorist-controlled territories face.

The captured woman — who, like other captives, managed to somehow communicate with her family — was among the Yazidi women taken prisoner as their homes fell to the fanatical jihadists.

Death, she said, would be better than being “forced off with a strange man” — or sold into slavery.

Female captives are subjected to degrading conditions, including virginity tests to make sure they are “pure” enough for sale or to be given as a reward to Islamic State fighters, according to the imprisoned, their families, activists and a leaked United Nations report.

Islamic State leaders have sanctioned this “Jihad al Niqah,” an extreme holy war that lets warriors take women as prizes of battle.

Captives are politely asked to convert twice, but if they refuse a third time, they are whipped. By the fourth time, they face death, according to the reports.
