Although Rand realizes that Elza is BA, we never hear of her Warder Fearil, who is a DF himself. One would suppose that he would either try to avenge Elza or flee, when he felt her death. But no one among Rand's group thinks of him.
A little blunder by BS? Or what happened with Fearil?

I can't really decide if Moridin was there too, or just Shadar Haran. Either way, they identified the Sisters holding Semirhage and only killed the one without a Warder. The other two were put into trances. After that they summoned Elza and her Warder - SH killed the Warder because he was useless, and Compelled Elza. I don't believe that the Compulsion on Elza is Verin's doing - no Aes Sedai knows true Compulsion, and Verin's was more like Liandrin's pursuasion. Moridin is proficient at Compulsion and probably gave her orders and wrapped her up like a present for Semirhage. The reason Moridin mentioned the Compulsion to Semirhage (through Elza) was so that she wouldn't suspect that Elza was behaving strangely.
On the other hand, it may have slipped Brandon's mind.
Elza tells Semi, "that there is Compulsion in my mind you are to remove." Why would Moridin tell Elza to tell Semi to remove it? I'm pretty sure that it is Verin's Compulsion that Elza is refering to, even though I'm sure someone else told her about it.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
Little oversight?

It's definitely Verin's Compulsion

Actually, I thought it was common knowledge that some of Rand's AS were under compulsion.

he also apparently forgot about a few of Mat's soldiers in Hinderstap

I noticed that in my read and did a search on the MB for it, finding this post.
