Agence France-Presse: US-born IS bride appeals again to come home from Syria
A US-born woman who says she regrets having joined the Islamic State group has appealed again to come home from the refugee camp where she lives with her small son in Syria. The government is refusing to let Hoda Muthana return to the US, arguing that she is not an American citizen. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has called her a terrorist. She took part actively in IS propaganda, according to the Counter Extremism Project.She had urged jihadists in America to "go on drive-bys, and spill all of their blood." Muthana also hailed an attack in 2015 in France against the offices of the magazine Charlie Hebdo, which left 12 people dead.
