An American woman could face ten years in prison after being taken to Syria by her father as a teenager and then being married off to a fighter of the Islamic State.

A 27-year-old American woman, Halima Salman, was found guilty of receiving military training from ISIS in Syria. Prosecutors presented evidence including a video of her with a firearm and messages to her husband. Salman, who was taken to Syria by her father at 17, claims she was unaware of his intentions. She spent three months in an ISIS-controlled area before marrying a fighter. Her defense argues she was coerced, while prosecutors assert she willingly participated in training. Salman left the conflict zone in 2019 and was arrested in New York in 2024. Sentencing is set for February 2, with a potential ten-year prison term.
