New York woman whose father arranged her marriage to an Islamic State fighter is convicted of weapons training
Halima Salman, 27, a Brooklyn-born US citizen, was convicted Tuesday after jurors were shown footage of her holding an assault rifle and a photo of her posing with the Islamic State flag. Her father took her to Syria at 17 under the pretence of visiting relatives in Turkey before masked gunmen intercepted them. Salman faces up to a decade in prison at sentencing.
