If there really is a woman involved in this, I bet that more likely than not she is a convert twat. One of those Jihad Jane types. Her raghead boyfriend makes her convert, radicalizes her, and the next thing you know she is willing to kill her own people for the sake of some desert death cult from 1400 years ago.
Probably like the American wife of the Boston Bomber who converted and went full-on Muslim with the head scarves and all. Even after he was killed, she still stayed with it.
