According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonherald.com\/2026\/10\/27\/brooklyn-woman-convicted-of-getting-military-training-from-isis-halina-salman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Boston Herald<\/a>, the trial took place in Brooklyn Federal Court, where Salman testified that she was forced to marry an ISIS fighter as a teenager.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors argued that Salman willingly participated in ISIS activities and received AK-47 training from the Nusaybah Khatiba, an all-female brigade. They presented evidence including a video of Salman holding an assault rifle and a photo with an ISIS flag in the background, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/katv.com\/news\/nation-world\/new-york-woman-convicted-of-receiving-terrorist-training-from-isis-militants-in-syria-designated-foreign-terrorist-organization-islamic-state-of-iraq-and-al-sham-arranged-marriage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">KATV<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Salman&#8217;s defense argued that she was coerced into the situation by her father, who moved the family to Syria when she was 17. Her lawyer, Mia Eisner-Grynberg, described the case as a &#8220;grave miscarriage of justice,&#8221; stating that there was no direct evidence of Salman&#8217;s training. The defense claimed that Salman was a victim of circumstance, trapped in Syria&#8217;s civil war and forced into marriage, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc27.com\/news\/us-world\/ap-new-york-woman-is-convicted-of-islamic-state-training-after-becoming-a-teen-bride-to-a-fighter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">according to ABC27<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Salman, who also goes by the name Umm Khattab al-Muhajir, faces up to ten years in federal prison.
