The family of a teenager who killed a police official in Turkey last week in a suicide bomb attack while she was a pregnant widow of an Islamic State (IS) fighter, has said that she was a normal girl who used to wear mini-skirts and make-up.

According to the Mirror, Diana Ramazanova is originally from Russia's Muslim region of Dagestan.

Diana detonated the grenades in front of the Istanbul tourism police station in Turkey last week.

The 18-year-old is believed to be a widow of an IS fighter who got killed six weeks back in Syria.

Diana's uncle Magomed Ramazanov said that the girl was not very religious before she left Turkey.

She changed entirely after she met a man named Abu Aluevitsj Edelbijev on the web.
