Woman charged in beheading plot appears in court
WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — A federal judge in North Carolina is weighing whether to hold a Raleigh school administrator accused of paying a hit man to behead three witnesses in a terrorism case.
Nevine Aly Elshiekh made her first court appearance today. She was arrested last month after FBI agents tracked her to a meeting with a government informant posing as a hit man’s representative. Agents say the 46-year-old educator provided the names of those to be killed and a $750 down payment toward the first hit.
Prosecutors say the plot was masterminded by Hysen Sherifi, sentenced last month to 45 years in prison for a conspiracy to attack the Marine base at Quantico, Va.
Also arrested in the beheading plot is Shkumbin Sherifi, the terror defendant’s 21-year-old brother.
Comments
The Muslims complain when they're viewed more cautiously as a group than others, yet this is just one more "jihad". If they don't want to be treated as an outcast, they need to stop fostering hate for "infidels."
Politically correct compassion towards Muslims is a huge mistake.These people kill their daughters for the disgrace of them talking to a guy, decapitate those that they consider enemies, and glorify death in the name of Allah. Freedom of religion is one thing but Muslims need to be expelled from our country; they are not fit to be here.
