Araz News:Sunday 16 August 2015,Kayla Mueller was forced to have sex with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi while being held by Isil, according to US officials,telegraph reported.

The parents of a late American hostage held by the Islamic State say they have been informed that she was raped repeatedly by Abu Bakr Baghdad, the terrorist group’s leader.

Kayla Mueller was taken captive in 2013 while volunteering as an aid worker in Syria. Her death was announced in February, though the timing and circumstances in which she died remain unknown. She was 26 years old.

Now it has emerged that al-Baghdadi reportedly took her against her will as his “wife”, forcing her to have sex with him on multiple occasions.

Carl and Marsha Mueller, Kayla’s parents, say US officials told them their daughter was raped repeatedly by the self-proclaimed “Caliph”.

“We were told Kayla was tortured, that she was the property of al-Baghdadi. We were told that in June by the government,” they told ABC News.

She was reportedly one of several sex slaves held in the home of Abu Sayyaf, a senior Isil leader who was killed by US special forces in May.

Ms Mueller was held for one and a half years in unimaginable conditions. The Mueller family say they were informed by the FBI that she had undergone repeated torture for the duration of her captivity.

President Barack Obama ordered a special forces operation prior to Ms Mueller’s death in hopes of saving her and other hostages, which he said “probably missed them by a day or two”.

After her death was confirmed, he said she “represents what is best about America, and expressed her deep pride in the freedoms that we Americans enjoy, and that so many others strive for around the world”.
