A woman who called herself "Jihad Jane" and helped suspected terrorists overseas faces the possibility of life in prison at her sentencing this week in the US.
A federal judge must decide if 50-year-old Colleen LaRose presented a real threat or was easy prey for extremists seeking followers with US passports.
LaRose admits she plotted to kill a Swedish artist over a cartoon that offended Muslims. The judge could sentence her to life in prison, although prosecutors are asking for decades.
LaRose, who called herself "Jihad Jane" in videos posted on YouTube, returned from Ireland in 2009 to surrender to the FBI.
