B.C. ‘sexy senior’ was part of ISIS women’s battalion, RCMP alleges

globalnews.ca:

A B.C. woman who returned home from Syria last year was part of the all-female battalion of the Islamic State, according to RCMP allegations unsealed on Tuesday.

Kimberly Polman served in the Katibah Nusaybah, an ISIS branch that provided weapons training to women, the RCMP wrote in a report summarizing its investigation.

The 122-page police report, obtained by Global News, said Katibah Nusaybah trained Polman “to fight physically and with weapons,” before she was assigned to an ISIS medical unit.

She also helped move weapons for ISIS, was an informant for its secret police and married two members of the group, most recently a builder of explosive devices, the RCMP alleged.

The RCMP additionally alleged the 51-year-old belonged to the Sexy Seniors, older women who “were dedicated to the cause, and did many jobs for ISIS, because they did not have young families to care for.”

The details of the investigation, called Project Stiletto, were filed in B.C. provincial court on Oct. 27, 2022, after Global Affairs Canada flew Polman home from a prison camp in northeast Syria.

The allegations are the first comprensive look inside an investigation into the Canadian women of ISIS, but they could not be reported until a judge ruled on the RCMP’s application for a terrorism peace bond for Polman.

A judge in Chilliwack, B.C. ordered the peace bond on Tuesday. It places restrictions on Polman in the name of public safety for eight months. She has not been charged with any crimes.

Polman has publicly portrayed herself as a victim who was lured to Syria by a man she met online, and realized her mistake upon arriving in ISIS territory.

In a letter to Canadians, she wrote she was an “innocent woman” who only wanted to help children and
