A U.S. woman has been arrested on allegations of attempting to provide material support to al-Qaeda, the Justice Department announced.
The FBI on Wednesday arrested Jill Marie Jones at the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, where federal authorities say she planned to board a flight to Turkey to join the terrorist group in Afghanistan.
Two undercover FBI agents, including one who posed as a member of al-Qaeda, were communicating with Jones, who said she planned to send money to help al Qaeda buy scopes for rifles that would be used to kill American soldiers. She sent the undercover FBI agent a $500 gift card in May 2020, the DOJ says.
During the communications, Jones said she planned to travel overseas to assist al Qaeda, according to the DOJ.
