Woman kills IS Militant
By xinhuanet.com - Jan 14, 2019

A local Iraqi woman killed two Islamic State (IS) militants by poisoning them in revenge for the killing of her son and her husband by the extremist militants in Iraq’s eastern province of Diyala, a local police officer said.

The two IS militants broke into the house of the 47-year-old widow, who is originally a relative to them, in a village located some 65 km northeast of Baghdad, and forced her to prepare a meal, the police officer told Xinhua on condition of anonymity. The woman prepared the meal, poisoned it and fled her house and the village after the militants left, the source said. Later on, many IS militants broke into her house and when they did not find her, they set fire to the house and searched some nearby houses in the village, the source added. The militants told the villagers that the two poisoned militants were dead, according to the source.

The widow’s act came after the killing of her 16-year-old son in 2015 by IS militants and the killing of her husband earlier in 2011 by the extremist militants after he joined U.S.-backed Sahwa groups, also known as Awakening Councils who fought al-Qaida militants in Iraq. Sadiq al-Husseini, head of the security committee in Diyala provincial council, told Xinhua that residents across the province are increasingly rejecting the extremist militants and this can be felt by the increasing cooperation by the residents with the security forces. “Some of Diyala’s areas witnessed a sort of popular uprisings against the extremist militants and some residents fought alongside the security forces. This is an important indicator that will contribute to the eradication of extremism,” al-Husseini said.

Sounds like she was related to these two. The article does not say what the poison was.
