Jihad Jane? More like Margaret Mitty:
A woman from Montgomery County who used the online nickname of "JihadJane" has been indicted for conspiring to provide support to Islamic terrorists with whom she allegedly plotted to kill a Swedish artist.
Prosecutors accused Colleen R. LaRose, 46, of offering to use her American looks and identity to help foreign terrorists. She was arrested last October but her incarceration was kept secret until today.
American and foreign government used the time to sweep up a terrorist network in Ireland, according to news media in that country. The Irish Times said seven men, most from other nations, were arrested as part of a plot to murder a Swedish cartoonist who drew controversial images of the Prophet Muhammad.
I also like the fact that Ms. LaRose's other alias was "Fatima LaRose". Nothing like using your own name as your cover. Easier to remember that way.
Whether I am right or not about her being just a thrill-seeker, she's going byebye for a long time. Enjoy federal prison, Coll.
Update: Here again is the evil supervillian, disguising herself in the most cunning manner possible:
How did they catch her? Nice animal print, by the way. Isn't that haraam, though? I'm not even going to ask about the eyebrows. As much as I want to. Cruella.
Best headline ever. That is all.

Looks more like a bad guy from a Macgyver rerun than a terrorist. I've seen "diesel dykes" who look more feminine.
