Umm Ams and Dua, two young cousins, were both married to foreign fighters of the Islamic State militant group in Raqqa, Syria, an IS stronghold. Umm Ams says she initially embraced the group's religious fervor. But after her husband fled and Dua's husband carried out a suicide attack, they escaped together to Turkey. RFE/RL's Current Time TV correspondent Shahida Yakub spoke to the women about their experiences and change of heart.
