SNIPPET: “In June 2008, Jihad Jane had posted a comment on YouTube saying she was “desperate to do something somehow to help” suffering Muslims. According to the FBI indictment, she appears to have been contacted by the jihadis thereafter. The indictment charges that she received a direct order to kill a Swedish resident. She traveled to Sweden and tracked the target with the intent of carrying out the murder. The FBI identified the target as cartoonist Lars Vilks.In an e-mail message to a co-conspirator, she wrote that she would pursue her mission “till I achieve it or die trying,” according to the indictment.The indictment accuses her of agreeing, in March 2009, to marry a co-conspirator from a South Asian country who was trying to obtain residency in Europe.He allegedly urged her to go to Sweden, find the Swedish man “and kill him”. The indictment claims she tried to raise money over the internet, lure others to her cause, and lied to FBI investigators.

According to US media reports, she is also linked to an online organization Revolutionmuslim.com — where she was a subscriber, again using the name Jihad Jane. The site is run by an American Muslim, who had made the following posting after she was indicted: “Sisters — please consider sending her [LaRose] a message of support and hope and let’s remind her she isn’t alone. It’s likely she’s the only Muslimah there. As always, use discretion when writing, don’t ask pointed questions, and of course don’t say anything that could create problems for her or yourselves.”

She has been accused not only of conspiring to murder the cartoonist, but also of allegedly trying to recruit women with Western passports to marry fellow violent jihadists and of raising money for terrorist causes.

The US Department of Justice has issued the following statement regarding her indictment:”
