"Jihad Jane" Indicted For Terror Plot

Federal authorities unsealed a indictment today charging Colleen R. LaRose, aka “Fatima LaRose,” aka “JihadJane,” with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, conspiracy to kill in a foreign country, making false statements to a government official and attempted identity theft.

Colleen LaRose -- also known as "Jihad Jane" -- and five unindicted co-conspirators recruited men on the Internet "to wage violent jihad in South Asia and Europe, and recruited women on the Internet who had passports and the ability to travel to and around Europe in support of violent jihad," according to a Justice Department statement.

LaRosa has previously been accused of using her twitter account to raise funds for Jihad – but that has not been confirmed.

If convicted, LaRose faces a possible life prison sentence and a $1 million fine, the statement said.
