Philly Woman Planned to Desert Children,Join IS; Arrested by Federal Agents on Planned Flight Day

Keonna Thomas, 32, of Philadelphia admitted in federal court to planning to abandon her two children -- aged seven and nine -- to fight for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the Clarion Project website reports today (September 23, 2016).

She told the judge, "I believe that I'm guilty of this charge," acknowledging that the only reason she did not carry out this plan is because federal agents raided her home the day she was due to leave in 2015.

She had booked a flight to Barcelona, Spain and planned to travel to Syria from there.

She faces up to 15 years in prison.
