By Poonam Taneja Verified, Jewan Abdi| BBC Verified A Canadian woman has spoken for the first time about her marriage to one of the IS "Beatles" and her time living with him in Syria. Despite global news coverage of savagery by the Islamic State (IS) group, Dure Ahmed claims she was "oblivious to what was going on" while her then-British husband El Shafee Elsheikh was committing atrocities. He was part of a murderous IS cell linked to the abduction, torture and beheading of Western hostages.
