A former Kansas schoolteacher has been arrested and charged with leading an all-female ISIS battalion in Syria
According to the Justice Department, Fluke-Ekren — a.k.a. “Umm Mohammed al-Amriki,” Umm Mohammed,” and “Umm Jabril” — first left the U.S. for Egypt in 2008. After a few years there and in Libya, Fluke-Ekren was “smuggled” into Syria in 2012 “because, according to one witness, the terrorist organization Ansar al-Sharia was no longer conducting attacks in Libya, and Fluke-Ekren wished to engage in violent jihad.
“The members of Khatiba Nusaybah were instructed on physical training , medical training, Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device driving courses, religious classes, and how to pack and prep a ‘go bag’ with rifles and other military supplies. According to eyewitness accounts, some of these classes were taught by Fluke-Ekren,” the detention memorandum added.
“One witness observed that the leaders of ISIS and the other members of the military battalion were proud to have an American instructor. According to multiple witnesses who are prepared to testify in this case, Fluke-Ekren also trained children on the use of AK-47 assault rifles, grenades, and suicide belts.”
Fluke-Ekren will make her first appearance at an Alexandria, Virginia courthouse on Monday. If convicted, she faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison.
