New Film "Rabia" Inspired by Life of Al-Qaeda’s "Black Widow"

Fatiha Mejjati was a leading figure of Daesh. But nothing predestined her to this. "After a privileged youth in Casablanca and law studies, she became radicalized, taking her husband, Abdelkrim Mejjati, with her. With their two children, they joined Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan in the early 2000s," Huffington Post reports. Fatiha’s husband would be the coordinator of the Casablanca attacks in 2003, those in Madrid in 2004 and then in London in 2005. But this Al-Qaeda leader will not have a long life expectancy. He will be shot dead in April 2005, with his 11-year-old son during clashes with the security services in the city of Ar Rass, Saudi Arabia.

The now "Black Widow of Al-Qaeda" returns to Casablanca with her last son, Ilyas, after the death of her Moroccan husband and the 11-year-old son. In 2014, she joined the ranks of Daesh. She even led the al-Khansa brigade, a women’s militia, before taking care of several women’s houses (madafas) of the Islamic State in Raqqa, Syria, where she reigned with terror. In the rooms of madafa 88, for example, women of French, Turkish, Russian, German or even Tunisian, Moroccan, Algerian nationalities were crammed, all single, divorced or widowed, ready to be married as soon as possible.
