US mother of 7 pleads guilty to ‘attempting to provide support to ISIS’
2019-04-24
[ALMASDARNEWS] A mother of seven from the US state of Wisconsin faces up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to a charge of"attempting to provide material support to terrorists."

Prosecutors allege that Waheba Issa Dais
...the Arab-Israeli woman brought to the U.S. in 1992 by her American husband. A decade later she kept the kids and the legal residency in the divorce...
used social media accounts she "took over from unwitting victims" to share information about making poisons, boom jackets, biological weapons, and explosives, and suggested potential events and locations to target in terrorist attacks in conversations she had with self-proclaimed IS members and supporters.

According to prosecutors, Dais initially pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
 to two charges, yet a second one was dropped in exchange for her changing her plea to guilty.

However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
 authorities were unable to connect her to any attacks or plots in the real world and also said she has a history of mental illness.
How Islamic
The Daily Mail adds:
An FBI confidential informant told investigators that Dais is unemployed and that her 'Islamic husband' paid the bills.
...is an Islamic husband something like a baby daddy?
The informant also reported that Dais was 'constantly on social media promoting ISIS' and that her accounts were frequently shut down for that reason.

Elizabeth Makowski, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office in Milwaukee, declined to say whether authorities believe Dais has any connection to an alleged plot in Germany involving Tunisian Sief Allah H., who prosecutors say created Ricin using castor bean seeds.
It was a busy day. From the Chicago Tribune:
Also Monday in a separate case, prosecutors announced that a Milwaukee man pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting an attempt to provide material support to the IS. In that case, prosecutors said Yosvany Padilla-Conde, a Cuban national, made videos swearing allegiance to the IS and stating his intent to travel with another Wisconsin man to the Middle East.

Padilla-Conde thought he was sending the videos to an Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 recruiter, but it was actually an undercover FBI agent.

Padilla-Conde's co-conspirator, Jason Ludke,
...in our our archives as Jason Michael Ludke, 35...
was convicted last year and is already incarcerated. Padilla-Conde faces up to 20 years in prison when he is sentenced Aug. 7.

"These cases demonstrate the continuing and evolving threat posed by foreign terrorist organizations," Krueger said.

#1  They write 'Milwaukee man' like he's a hog-riding Elvis fan. Why not just say 'resident Cubano aiding islamists' ?
