Jamie Paulin-Ramirez pleaded not guilty at her arraignment Wednesday in federal court in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  She faces federal charges that she supported terrorists overseas.  She was arrested in Ireland in March in a plot to commit murder.

Paulin-Ramirez is accused of being involved in the plot to kill cartoonist Lars Vilks a Swedish artist vilified by Muslims because of his drawings of the Prophet Muhammad.

The other woman Colleen R. LaRose, dubbed Jihad Jane, is also charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists in the U.S. indictment.

Jeremy Ibrahim, Paulin-Ramirez’s lawyer informed the court the accused is pregnant.  She returned to the U.S. to face the charges with her 6 year old son who is in custody of Pennsylvania Child Services.

The Wall Street Journal said a Colorado was arrested and then released as part of an investigation into the conspiracy to murder a Swedish cartoonist.  This is the second American woman who is of interest in this plot.

Irish police said. Sgt. Declan Obyrne told CNN that Jamie Paulin-Ramirez was released from Thomastown Garda Police Station on Saturday afternoon.  Obyrne said Paulin-Ramirez has not been charged and that she is not out on bail.

Earlier this week a suburban Philadelphia woman, Colleen R. LaRose who called herself Jihad Jane, was arrested in a plot to murder cartoonist Lars Vilks a Swedish artist vilified by Muslims because of his drawings of the Prophet Muhammad.

Colleen R. LaRose, a suburban Philadelphia woman who called herself Jihad Jane online has been charged with using the Internet to recruit jihadist fighters and help terrorists overseas.

The blond hair, blue eyed woman’s goal was to kill cartoonist Lars Vilks a Swedish artist vilified by Muslims because of his drawings of the Prophet Muhammad.  This is just the latest string of plots to kill the cartoonist.  In September 2007, al-Qaeda leaders set a price on Vilks’ head.

His “alleged crime” was to draw a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad as a “roundabout dog”, a type of street installation popular in Sweden where sculptures are often placed in the middle of roundabaouts.

LaRose has been in custody since Oct. 15. She was in court the next day but didn’t enter a plea.  So, it’s been about five months and this is just getting into the news.
