BROOKLYN, NEW YORK — Halima Salman, 27, a U.S. citizen and former Brooklyn resident also known as “Umm Khattab al-Muhajir,” was convicted October 27, 2026, by a federal jury of receiving military-type training from the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS, a designated foreign terrorist organization.
The verdict followed a two-week trial before U.S. District Judge Natasha C. Merle in the Eastern District of New York.
Evidence presented at trial established that Salman’s parents traveled with her and her eight siblings out of the United States during September and October 2016, with the family ultimately entering ISIS-controlled territory in Syria.
In late 2016 or early 2017, when Salman was 18 years old, she married an ISIS fighter in Syria and voluntarily sought military-type training from the organization. She received authorization from ISIS to carry ammunition and an assault rifle and later received documentation certifying that she had successfully completed the training.
A copy of that certification was recovered from her husband’s cellphone after the device was found on the battlefield.
Investigators also recovered photographs from the phone showing Salman with an ISIS flag in the background and a video depicting her brandishing an AK-47 rifle.
The training was provided through Khatiba Nusaybah, a military battalion composed of female ISIS members.
The case was investigated by the FBI New York Field Office.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Adam Amir and Amanda Shami for the Eastern District of New York are prosecuting the case, with assistance from Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Reich, Paralegal Specialist Emily Woodruff, and Trial Attorney Patrick Cashman of the Justice Department’s National Security Division Counterterrorism Section.
The conviction was announced by John A. Eisenberg, Assistant Attorney General for National Security; Joseph Nocella Jr., U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; Jarod Brown, Assistant Director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division; and James C. Barnacle, Assistant Director in Charge of the FBI’s New York Field Office.
