A Kansas woman, who left the US to join terrorist movements in the Middle East, pleaded guilty Tuesday to organizing and leading an all-female military battalion for ISIS.
Allison Fluke-Ekren, 42, provided more than 100 women and girls — some as young as 10 years old — with military training on behalf of the failed radical Islamic caliphate in Syria, according to federal prosecutors.
Fluke-Ekren left the U.S. in 2008, following her second husband Volkan Ekren to Egypt with her four children before moving to Libya.
There, Fluke-Ekren reviewed and summarized government documents that her hubby stole from the US Special Mission after a terrorist attack that targeted the compound, according to federal authorities.
In the years that followed, she traveled with her husband to Turkey, Syria and Iraq, and eventually led a woman’s center in Raqqa on behalf of the Islamic State, the feds said.
