ISIS horror hits home for two American teens recruited to “jihad-up”.
Shannon Conley, 19, is serving a four-year prison term after being convicted of conspiracy to support ISIS. The nurse’s aide revealed her twisted beliefs in 2013, after signing up for classes at the Faith Bible Chapel in Arvada, Colo.
She was seen taking notes of the campus’ layout, and told staffers not to worry about terrorism because warriors aren’t “allowed to kill adults and little children.” The FBI was alerted, and Conley told them she “hated” the church members, and her future plans were “probably illegal.” She was finally arrested last April at an airport – with plans to marry a Tunisian ISIS fighter.
Mohammed Hamzah Khan, 19, is awaiting trial for attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization. The 19-year-old faces a possible 15-year sentence. He was arrested last October when FBI agents stopped him from boarding a plane to Turkey.
Khan had met an ISIS recruiter via Twitter, and was convinced to bring himself, his younger brother and sister to Syria. Authorities found that his sister had tweeted her admiration for a video of an ISIS beheading she saw online – but so far the younger siblings haven’t been charged with a crime.
