A female Kurdish fighter, who became an online sensation as the poster girl for the Kobani resistance in Syria against the invading Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant militants, reportedly has been captured and beheaded by the IS fighters.

The young Kurdish girl, known by the pseudonym Rehana, became an online celebrity after a local journalist tweeted a picture of her making a 'V-sign' and had written: "Rehana has killed more than 100 ISIS terrorists in Kobane."

Reports claim that her picture was retweeted over 6,000 times. However, reports that need more verification, claim that Rehana, who was a female fighter for the Kurdish YPJ, or Women's Defense Unit, has been killed.

The reports, citing unnamed sources claims that the ISIS fighters have been posting pictures of her beheading. It is claimed that a picture of an ISIS fighter holding a severed head said to be of Rehana has been posted by the IS militants in Kobani, also known as Kobane.
