“A Pennsylvania woman who called herself JihadJane was tied Tuesday to an alleged assassination plot against a Swedish cartoonist who depicted the prophet Muhammad atop the body of a dog.”

“Michael L. Levy, the United States attorney for Eastern Pennsylvania, said in a statement the case illustrated how terrorists were looking for American recruits who could blend in. “It shatters any lingering thought that we can spot a terrorist based on appearance,” he said.”

“Ms. LaRose is white, with blond hair and green eyes…”

Lars Vilks

“I’m not shaking with fear, exactly,” [Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks] told Swedish news agency TT, adding: “I have prepared in different ways and I have an axe here in case someone should manage to get in through the window.”

“Vilks has in the past dismissed the threats against him as “scare tactics” and, supported by the Swedish media, has insisted on the importance of publishing such material in defence of Sweden’s freedom of expression.”
