US woman has plea change hearing in terror plot

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A woman charged last year in a global terror plot is scheduled for a change of plea hearing next week.

Forty-seven-year-old Colleen LaRose of Pennsburg, Pennsylvania, has pleaded not guilty to charges of helping foreign terror suspects intent on starting a holy war in Europe and South Asia.

Federal prosecutors say LaRose used the online screen names "Jihad Jane" and "Fatima LaRose."

Court records show LaRose is scheduled for a change of plea hearing in federal court in Philadelphia on Tuesday afternoon.

A message left for LaRose's attorney was not immediately returned Friday.

Another woman, Jamie Paulin-Ramirez, of Leadville, Colorado, has also pleaded not guilty in the case.
