Brooklyn jury deliberates fate of woman accused of marrying Islamic State member
A Brooklyn jury is deliberating the fate of a New York woman who says she was tricked by her father into traveling to Syria and never underwent the weapons training with the Islamic State group that she has been criminally charged with. Deliberations began Thursday. Prosecutors said Halima Salman underwent the training while she was in Syria from 2017 to 2019.
A U.S. citizen who was born in Brooklyn, the now-27-year-old was freed on bail after she was arrested at Kennedy International Airport when she returned to the United States in May 2024. Her father died in Syria after he was injured in a bombing in 2018.
