Kansas Woman Accused of Leading All-women ISIS Battalion
They were planning attacks on U.S. soil
An American woman accused of leading an all-female ISIS battalion and training the group's fighters for a hypothetical attack on a U.S. college campus was transferred to the FBI's custody Friday ahead of her trial on terrorism charges.
Allison Fluke-Ekren is charged with providing and conspiring to provide material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization.
According to a 2019 criminal complaint against Fluke-Ekren, she left Kansas for Egypt alongside her then-husband sometime in 2008. After living there until 2011 and traveling to Libya for a year, the former teacher and her husband were allegedly smuggled into Syria along with $15,000, which they used to purchase weapons for the terrorist group.
