The U.S. law enforcement examines the case of three Colorado teenage girls who wanted to join ISIS because they believed it was a good opportunity to study how militant groups recruit young adults in the United States. The trio set out from Denver to Syria to join extremists, but was stopped by officials in Germany and sent home to their families. Two of the individuals were sisters of Somali descent and the third was a friend whose family originated in Sudan. They were detained in Frankfurt, Germany once identified by their passports. Authorities have not confirmed how the girls planned to flee to Syria, but they began to examine their social media accounts for any sort of communication with the extremists in Syria. According to Glenn Thompson, bureau chief of the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office, he discovered $2,000 missing from the sisters’ father’s checking account. This came as a surprise to the two families because the teenage girls had not attempted to run away prior to this occasion. The trio, all United States citizens, was of the age of fifteen, fifteen and seventeen, respectively, and the eldest admitted to orchestrating the escape to Syria. The FBI has been speaking to the teens and their families, and has stated that no charges have been filed. Soon after, a nineteen year old woman, Shannon Conley, also unfortunately pursued her faith down the wrong path. Conley was planning on fleeing to Turkey to join ISIS as well. Conley was intending to be a nurse at a jihadist camp. She told the investigators that before she was arrested, she was planning to travel to Turkey and wait for Yousr Mouelhi, an ISIS member whom she met on the Internet, and agreed to marry. Conley, nineteen, was arrested at Denver International Airport. She pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to provide substantial support to a designated terrorist institution. This outcome is quite different from the teenagers’ because Conley is facing a maximum of five years in federal prison and up to a $250,000 fine. More than 100 Americans have attempted to join militant groups in Syria, and the extremists continue to captivate and charm more teens everyday.
