An American woman accused of leading an “all-female military battalion” of ISIL (ISIS) in the Syrian city of Raqqa made a brief appearance in US court on Monday to face “terrorism” charges.
The United States Department of Justice said Allison Fluke-Ekren, a 42-year-old former resident of Kansas who worked as a teacher in the US, was previously captured in Syria and transferred to FBI custody late last week.
