Second US woman arrested in Ireland pleads guilty over Islamic plot

A SECOND American woman who was arrested in Ireland last year as part of an Irish-US investigation into an Islamic plot to kill Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks has pleaded guilty to terrorism charges.

Jamie Paulin-Ramirez travelled to Ireland in September 2009 to join fellow US national Colleen LaRose and others to engage in “violent jihad”, or Islamic holy war, according to US court documents.

The 32-year-old mother, from Colerado, has pleaded guilty in Philadelphia District Court to a single offence of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists.
