Terrorist’s widow indicted in connection with rape, death of American hostage

(CNSNews.com) – An Iraqi woman in whose home Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi allegedly raped an American aid worker has been indicted in the U.S. for her role in the conspiracy that led to the death of the hostage.

Nisreen Assad Ibrahim Bahar, 25, is the widow of Abu Sayyaf, a senior ISIS leader killed during a U.S. Special Forces raid on their home in eastern Syria last May. Bahar, also known as Umm Sayyaf, was captured during the raid and a young Yazidi woman being held as a slave was rescued.
