Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for making us aware that former Kansas school teacher and mother of five Allison Elizabeth Fluke-Ekren, 42, was apprehended in Syria late Thursday, according to the U.S. Department of Justice press release.
Fluke-Ekren served as a leader of an all-women military battalion of ISIS known as Khatiba Nusayba.
Six eyewitnesses gave detailed accounts to U.S. federal agents of Fluke-Ekren’s alleged terrorist activity starting in 2016, which was about eight years after she moved to the Middle East. One of the witnesses described Fluke-Ehren’s alleged plot to park a vehicle full of explosives in the basement or parking garage level at a U.S. shopping mall and detonate the explosives in the vehicle using a cell phone with a triggering device.

She wasn't. She was siding with evil. She should be eligible for the death penalty especially since ISIS was fighting US troops. But our kind hearted Justice department won't seek it.

Who brainwashed her and recruited her? She's been at it since 2008 - that is ~14 years. Planning terrorist attacks on a shopping mall and a college campus should earn her additional prison time.

Wondering if anyone has collected statistics about how many American women and men crossed involved themselves with Daesh. Certainly seems it was more women who were convert in U.S.A. It give that demographic a worse reputation as if they didn't already have to put up with a bad reputation for being converts.
I always refer to the group as DAESH (or ISIL) instead of ISIS because of Isis in ancient Egyptian beliefs, and because it is disliked by the ISIL. Here's an interesting article about power of the insult associated with why folks who speak Arabic use DAESH:
