A group of women wearing Islamic garb and carrying firearms talks to an Al-Iraqiya TV reporter about their desire to join the frontline and fight ISIS. One of the women tells the reporter that two of her children have been martyred and that she will send her remaining two sons to the frontline. The women dance and chant: "We stand in the vanguard, not at the rear." The report aired on June 26, 2014.
