The woman, known by the pseudonym Rehana, was celebrated as a symbol of hope for the embattled Syrian border town after a journalist tweeted a picture of her making a 'V-sign', claiming that she'd personally killed 100 Isis militants. The message was retweeted over 5,000 times, but there are now claims Rehana, who fought for the Kurdish YPJ, or Women's Defense Unit, may have been killed after gruesome pictures began circulating on Twitter of an Isis fighter purportedly holding aloft her head.

To: out damned spot, A K A Stone (#9) I hope this is true, Nolu. if she is more than a mythical character, I also hope she is well. "Rehana" may, or may not, be a mythical character who does not really exist and cannot really be beheaded. It seems neither her existence nor beheading can be confirmed. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/rehana-angel-kobani-social-media-myths-war-against-isis-terror-1472167 Rehana the 'Angel of Kobani': Social Media Myths in the War Against Isis Terror By Dominic Gover October 28, 2014 18:10 BST International Business Times The old saying "truth is the first casualty of war" springs to mind with the story of Kurdish jihadi-slayer "Rehana" - a woman who reportedly killed 100 Islamic State (IS) fighters but who may well be a ghost. Rehana leapt to prominence during the battle for the Syrian city of Kobani, when a photo of a smiling woman giving the peace sign went viral on the web. One hundred IS fighters had been killed by Rehana alone, it was claimed. Her exploits were reported by titles everywhere including the Daily Mail, the Mirror and IBTimes.co.uk. For Kurds, Rehana is a heavily armed "Angel of Kobani" - symbol of their defiance against the existential threat of IS, currently menacing their way of life. Her image was published on Twitter with the caption: "RT [retweet] and make her famous for bravery." But to the far away Western media, Rehana symbolises something very different: the difficulty of verification. The problem with an angel such as Rehana is there is next to nothing about her that can be confirmed with a high degree of certainty. Her story echoes wartime myths such as the Angels of Mons, which reportedly protected British soldiers in 1914, and other legendary figures like Lei Feng, the mostly made-up hero of Chinese communists under Chairman Mao. [...] But myth and reality bump awkwardly up against each in this Angel of Kobani. Everything we know about Rehana comes from Kurdish media sources, meaning it all comes attached with a big, flashing bias warning. Are we really looking at Rehana? Here are the problems. We do not know if the woman in the now famous photograph really is Rehana – a credible-looking claim states the photo is of a female "Home Guard" fighter and not the crackshot of legend. We also do not know how many IS fighters Rehana has killed – 100 does seem like a suspiciously nice round number. We do not even know if Rehana is alive or dead. Altogether, that is a lot of known unknowns. In to this void of verified information has stepped propaganda. IS tweeted a typically gruesome image of a grinning man holding a woman's decapitated head, which it said is Rehana. The Kurds deny she is dead. This reporter was told by a Kurdish journalist that Rehana spoke just recently with a colleague - long after IS said it had killed her. The story of Rehana is more than whether she is dead or alive and her impact in the battle for Korbane. It is also about the challenge of fact-checking for media in the age of Twitter and smart phones and the power of myth. Myth is arguably as powerful today as ever because of how quickly content can travel via social media, straight to users' smart phones and mobile devices.
