#1 I'm tempted to say: good news, lets throw sweets to the children

But

Perhaps she was an elaborate plant? undercover like? is it Russian propaganda that she was helping Ukraine, since they are trying to invade and she's a hated jihadi? Or is she some kind of superspy really on our side?

#2 48 hour rule applies. Given the context, I'd say chances are good she's not decomposing.

#4 If the story holds water and she was zapped by a Russian, it was probably because she was playing the Jihad card with the local Muslim population of the Ukraine.

Me thinks she is in Syria.

#5 Or better yet, she's in Mexico City plotting a real doozy for the US.

#8 From wiki: According to a 2009 Pew Research Center report, there are an estimated 456,000 Muslims in Ukraine.[15] In the Crimea, the Ukrainian Muslims make up to 12% of the population. A major part of the south steppes of modern Ukraine at a certain period of time belonged to the Turkic peoples, most of whom were Muslims since the fall of the Khazar Khanate.

The Crimean Tatars are the only indigenous Muslim ethnic group in the country. The Nogays, another Muslim group who lived in the steppes of southern Ukraine, emigrated to Turkey in the 18th-19th century. In addition, there are Muslim communities in all major Ukrainian cities representing Soviet-era migrants from Muslim backgrounds. There are approximately 150 mosques in Ukraine. Many Muslim mosques use the Crimean Tatarian, Arabic, Azeri, Tatarian and Russian languages.

#10 The White Widow will probably not win the "Mother-of-the-Year Award" should she be alive--well maybe she will in jihadi circles.
