American woman alleged to have joined IS goes on trial
An American woman alleged to have been an Islamic State group member caught by anti-IS forces in Syria went on trial in New York on Tuesday, charged with receiving military training from the jihadist group. Halima Salman, 27, was one of hundreds of women who ended up in the territory controlled by the Islamic State (IS) married to jihadist fighters before being captured and detained pending their repatriation.
