An American woman in her 20s, Halima Salman, who was repatriated to the United States from Syria, is facing criminal charges for training with ISIS abroad. Court documents unsealed on Tuesday revealed that Salman is accused of learning how to use an AK-47 assault rifle from the terrorist organization while living in Syria.
Salman was one of 11 US citizens, all part of one family, from northeast Syria who were repatriated in what Secretary of State Antony Blinken referred to as the “largest single repatriation” of Americans from that region. A State Department official confirmed that none of the family members were former ISIS fighters.
