Using the nomme de guerre of Jihad Jane LaRose was part of a plot to assassinate Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks. Vilks' sin? He depicted the prophet Mohammed with the body of a dog.
But is Jihad Jane cooperating with her sworn enemies? Her lawyer Mark Wilson wouldn't say.
"I share the same hope that she does, that she will be out of jail sooner than later," Wilson said. "She will do time."Since her arrest in 2009, LaRose has spent 23 hours a day in her cell.
ACCORDING TO CNN:
In 2009, LaRose had been sharing a home with a boyfriend and taking care of his elderly father near Philadelphia before suddenly disappearing. At the time, her boyfriend told CNN that she spent a lot of time on his computer. That computer and others were seized after LaRose's arrest.
She was taken into custody in Ireland, according to federal authorities.
Court papers stated LaRose allegedly was recruiting women online who had passports and could travel in Europe and elsewhere to support violent jihad.
The alleged terrorist conspiracy began in June 2008, when LaRose posted a comment on You Tube under the username "JihadJane", saying she was:
"desperate to do something somehow to help" Muslims, according to a federal indictment.
