U.S. Charges Widow of ISIS Leader in Death of Kayla Mueller
-----------------------------------------------------------

The Justice Department has charged the Iraqi widow of an ISIS leader
with a role in the death of U.S. aid worker Kayla Mueller. Nisreen Assad
Ibrahim Bahar, who is currently in Iraqi custody, is accused of helping
hold Mueller hostage at a home where Mueller was repeatedly raped by
ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Mueller was confirmed killed last year
in what ISIS said was a coalition airstrike in Syria.
