拉羅斯自稱有形像優勢，可以輕鬆混入人群
今年46歲的美國白人女性科琳·拉羅斯以涉嫌參與恐怖主義活動今天在費城一家法院出庭。
拉羅斯提出無罪申訴。法庭將於5月3日審判此案。
對拉羅斯的指控包括：參與策劃、資助恐怖活動，密謀前往國外謀殺一名作品冒犯了許多穆斯林人的瑞典漫畫家等。
美國政府檢控官說，拉羅斯在網上化名「聖戰珍」，並在視頻網站Youtube上傳一段錄像。在錄像中拉羅斯說，她迫切希望能夠幫助減輕穆斯林人的痛苦。
控方還說，拉羅斯開始和極端分子互發電子郵件，策劃殺害瑞典漫畫家，因為他的作品醜化了先知穆罕默德。
拉羅斯今年四十六歲，金發碧眼，典型的美國鄰家婦女形像。
美國當局說，拉羅斯曾在一份電子郵件中寫道，自己的外表優勢可以讓她輕鬆地融入人群。
拉羅斯還被指控在網上為恐怖分子籌款、招募聖戰者。
迄今已經有數名美國人被控參與、資助恐怖活動。拉羅斯案件再次觸發了美國社會對國內極端主義勢力擴大的擔心。

'Jihad Jane' pleads not guilty over over terror plot to kill Swedish cartoonist

A Pennsylvania woman dubbed ‘Jihad Jane’ has today pleaded not guilty to four charges in connection to an overseas terrorist plot.
Colleen LaRose was accused of conspiring with Islamists and pledging to commit murder in the name of a Muslim holy war.
The 46-year-old was indicted as part of an investigation into an alleged plot to kill Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, who drew pictures of the Prophet Muhammad.
She was arrested in October 2009 in Philadelphia while returning to the U.S.
The accused, also known as Fatima LaRose, appeared in a Philadelphia federal court wearing a green jumpsuit and with corn rows in her blonde hair.
A trial date has been set for May 3.
Authorities say she posted a YouTube video in 2008, saying she was ‘desperate to do something’ to ease the suffering of Muslims.
LaRose spent most of her life in Texas, where she dropped out of high school, married at 16 and again at 24.
After a second divorce, she followed a boyfriend, Kurt Gorman, to Pennsylvania in about 2004 and began caring for his father while he worked long hours, sometimes on the road.
In 2005, she swallowed a handful of pills in a failed suicide attempt, telling police she was upset over the death of her father - but did not want to die.
As she moved through her 40s without a job or any outside hobbies, Gorman said, she started spending more time online.
Though he said he did not consider her religious and she apparently never joined a mosque.
Colleen LaRose known as 'Jihad Jane' was indicted by U.S. authorities March 9, 2010 for planning deadly attacks in Europe and South Asia
LaRose and Gorman shared an apartment with his father in Pennsburg, a quaint if isolated town an hour northwest of Philadelphia.
Just days after the father died last August, she stole Gorman's passport and fled to Europe without telling him.
From June 2008 to August 2009 she allegedly went online to recruit male fighters and women with Western passports to marry them.
She also sought to raise money for the holy war, it is claimed.
Emails recovered by authorities allegedly show correspondence between LaRose and a man in South Asia whom she planned to marry after he said he could deal bombs and explosives.
He also told her in a March 2009 e-mail to go to Sweden to find the artist, it is claimed.
