Federal prosecutors filed terrorism charges Friday against a pregnant American woman — the second woman charged in the so-called Jihad Jane case. The two are accused of plotting online to attend a terror training camp.
Jamie Paulin-Ramirez flew from Ireland Friday to Philadelphia, where she was arrested by agents with the joint terrorism task force there. Her 6-year-old son flew with her and was placed in the custody of child protective service workers.
A U.S. official told The Associated Press that Paulin-Ramirez is pregnant. The official was not authorized to discuss that detail and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Last month, authorities in Ireland detained Paulin-Ramirez, originally from Colorado, and six others as they investigated an alleged plot to kill a Swedish cartoonist whose drawing had offended many Muslims.
