ISIS: Pennsylvania Woman Allegedly Tried to Join Group, Officials Say

Apr 3, 2015, 1:54 PM ET
By MIKE LEVINE

A Philadelphia native is now the third woman in two days -- and the sixth American in under three weeks -- to be arrested by federal authorities for allegedly plotting to join ISIS overseas or launch attacks on their behalf here in the U.S. homeland.

Keonna Thomas, 30, was charged today for allegedly conspiring to provide material support to the group now so infamous for its brutal propaganda videos and the havoc it’s wreaking in war-torn Syria and Iraq.

Last year, Thomas repeatedly posted pro-ISIS messages on social media, and she was ultimately in contact with a known ISIS fighter in Syria and other radicals around the world, according to charging documents.

Whatever you think of his politics, the Che Guevara, look sporting a jaunty beret, was much cooler than today's ninja suited nutters.
