Family: US woman, 33, killed in Syria fight

The family of a 33-year-old Michigan woman says the FBI had confirmed that she was killed in fighting in Syria. She's identified as Nicole Lynn Mansfield of Flint.

Speelman's mother Monica Mansfield Speelman tells the Detroit Free Press newspaper that her niece was a convert to Islam who married an Arab immigrant several years ago but later divorced him. Syrian news reports say that Mansfield and two other westerners killed with her were fighters for the opposition to Syria's government. (AP)
