PHILADELPHIA – The self-dubbed "Jihad Jane" who thought her blond, all-American profile would help mask her plan to kill a Swedish cartoonist is a rare case of a U.S. woman inciting foreign terrorism and shows the latest evolution of the global threat, authorities say.
The suburban Philadelphia woman, Colleen R. LaRose, was accused in Tuesday's indictment of trying to recruit jihadist fighters, and pledging to murder the artist, marry a terrorism suspect so he could move to Europe and martyr herself if necessary.
Her boyfriend of five years said LaRose had never hinted at Muslim leanings or attended religious services of any kind. Kurt Gorman, 47, of Pennsburg, said that he met LaRose in Texas and that nothing seemed amiss until she moved out of their apartment without warning in August.

Boyfriend: 'Jihad Jane' suspect wasn't religious
Nomads Diagnosis:
Jihad Jane was trying to fill a gaping hole in her presence on Earth by committing to an act she deemed of importance. Someone somewhere pressed the right buttons and caressed her insecurities making her feel validated. That validation was important enough for her to be willing to commit murder in order to gain acceptance no matter what the cost. She desired acceptance and she gained infamy.
Jihad Jane is to be pitied for her tortured delusions.
