A German
rapper-turned ISIS extremist who starred in the group's grisly
beheading videos was being spied on for the FBI by a woman he thought was his wife.
Denis
Cuspert, 39, who now calls himself Abu Talha al-Amani, embraced
radical Islam and travelled to Syria to fight with militants before becoming
the group's main propagandist.
The spy transmitted
critical information about the rapper and his ISIS colleagues before escaping
to Turkey - where she was arrested and then turned over to the US, according to
the German newspaper Bild.
The paper said German and
American intelligence sources confirmed the existence of the operation, Fox News reports.
The unidentified woman
fled Syria after her handlers told her it was no longer safe to continue the
mission as militants had began to hunt for and flush out infiltrators.
She is now believed to be
in the US.
