As fighting raged in the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa in the fall of 2017 and the terrorists ordered women to take up arms to defend the caliphate, a Kansas-born middle-school science teacher was among the first to volunteer, instructing her pupils in how to prepare a “go-bag” with weapons and other supplies for war, according to a federal criminal indictment unsealed last month.As a high-ranking member of ISIS, who trained in Egypt, Libya and Iraq before heading to Syria in 2012, Allison Fluke-Ekren planned to detonate explosives at an unidentified US college campus and “fantasized” about bombing a shopping mall, according to court records.“Fluke-Ekren believed a location was a good target if it contained large amounts of congregating people,” the indictment says. “She considered any attack that did not kill a large number of individuals to be a waste of resources.”
