FBI agent goes rogue, flees to Syria to marry jihadist she was investigating
Daniela Greene, who worked as a translator for the agency, had used social media to spy on Denis Cuspert, a German jihadist and former rapper who went by the name Deso Dogg.
Cuspert was a prolific online recruiter for Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis), who gained a reputation as one of its most brutal foreign fighters. He featured in Isis videos threatening the then US president Barack Obama and holding a freshly severed head.
But in a twist that mirrors the plot of the US television series Homeland, in which a CIA operative played by Claire Danes falls in love with a soldier-turned-jihadist played by Damian Lewis, the two became close and Cuspert convinced Greene to join him in Syria
