In reply to the discussion: The "Isis Bride" . . . . let her come back or not? [View all]Cold War Spook
(1,279 posts)38. According to a UN document,
her father gave up his diplomatic post on October 18, 1994. I can't find her birthdate but that would clarify whether or not she is a citizen. Also important is did she ever give up her citizenship. If she is a citizen, she should be allowed to return and as a terrorist put immediately on another plane for a vacation in Gitmo.
