British female jihadists are running brothels for Islamic State (IS) militants in the Raqqa province of Syria and forcing kidnapped Yazidi women into sex slavery.

The female jihadists are members of an ultra-religious group Islamic State 'police' force who look after Yazidi girls captured from Iraqi provinces.

Around 3,000 women have been kidnapped by IS fighters in the last two weeks, reported the Mirror.

According to sources, the British jihadists who belong to the all-women Khanssaa Brigade in Raqqa are running the brothels to satisfy the desires of the IS militants.

An aspiring doctor aged 20 who had fled from Glasgow last November and is believed to be a part of the brigade said that she wanted to behead Christians using a blunt knife.
