A 19-year-old Colorado woman who tried to travel to Syria to wage jihad with Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants was sentenced Friday to four years in prison.
Shannon Conley was arrested at Denver International Airport in April where she was bound for the Syria–Turkey border. Court documents revealed that Conley intended to join a man she described as her "suitor" and an ISIS militant.
Conley, who converted to Islam, voluntarily met on numerous occasions with FBI agents and detailed her desire to carry out Jihad in a foreign country to defend her faith.
Conley pleaded guilty in September to conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist group and faced up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
