An American woman, who styled herself 'Jihad Jane', today pleaded guilty to charges that she worked online to support Islamic terrorists and moved overseas to plot killing of a Swedish artist who drew cartoons of Prophet Mohammad.
Blonde-haired, blue-eyed Colleen LaRose replied "yes" when she was asked by US District Court Judge Petrese Tucker in a Philadelphia court if she was pleading guilty, after denying the charges last year.
LaRose, 47, changed her plea to guilty to all counts of a superseding indictment charging her with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, conspiracy to kill in a foreign country, making false statements and attempted identity theft.
LaRose was arrested in October 2009 in a plot to kill Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, whose cartoons had angered many across the Muslim world.
She faces a maximum potential sentence of life in prison and a one million dollar fine when sentenced on March 3. She had pleaded not guilty to the charges last year.
