<p>A Kansas woman who led an all-female ISIS battalion in Syria was sentenced Tuesday to 20 years in prison.</p>
<p>Allison Fluke-Ekren, 42, received the sentence in a federal courtroom in Alexandria, Virginia, after pleading guilty to conspiring to provide material support or resources to a foreign terrorist organization.</p>
<p>&#8220;I deeply regret my choices, but I also deeply sympathize with women abused and raped in Syria,&#8221; Fluke-Ekren <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/kansas-woman-helmed-female-isis-battalion-sentenced-20-years-prison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the judge ahead of her sentencing, according to Fox News.</p>
<p>The sentencing also includes 25 years of supervised release after her imprisonment. The plea deal was made after Fluke-Ekron confessed that she translated and analyzed documents stolen from the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi after a terrorist attack in 2012.</p>
<p>Her daughter, Layla Ekren, now 20, filed a letter against her mother in court testimony. Layla claimed that she was abused by her mother and forced to marry an ISIS fighter at the age of 13.</p>
<p>Fluke-Ekren also attempted to convince the U.S. government that she was dead in 2018 to avoid being detained, according to a press release from the Justice Department.</p>
<p>&#8220;In 2018, Fluke-Ekren informed another witness that she had instructed an individual in Syria to send a message to one of her family members stating that Fluke-Ekren was dead so that the U.S. government would not attempt to locate her. Fluke-Ekren informed this same witness that it was important to kill the &#8216;kuffar&#8217; (disbelievers) and die as martyrs on behalf of ISIS in Syria,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/american-woman-who-led-isis-battalion-sentenced-20-years" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> read.</p>
<p>Fluke-Ekren was originally detained in January and revealed that she led attacks in Syria involving a group of 100 women. She also admitted to plotting attacks on American targets, including a university and a shopping mall.</p>
<p>“To conduct the attack, Fluke-Ekren allegedly explained that she could go to a shopping mall in the United States, park a vehicle full of explosives in the basement or parking garage level of the structure, and detonate the explosives in the vehicle with a cell phone triggering device. Fluke-Ekren allegedly considered any attack that did not kill a large number of individuals to be a waste of resources,” the Department of Justice <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/american-woman-who-led-isis-battalion-charged-providing-material-support-terrorist" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a> in January.</p>
<p>Fluke-Ekren was previously a school teacher and a mother of at least seven children, including five born in the U.S. She moved to Egypt in 2008, then to Libya in 2011.</p>
<p>She moved with other ISIS members to Syria in 2012 after the attack on Benghazi. The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kansas-woman-confesses-to-leading-all-female-isis-battalion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that court documents also revealed that she and her husband, who was killed in an airstrike in 2016, were affiliated with Ansar al-Sharia and that the couple had drafted a report for terrorist leaders after analyzing government documents stolen during the Benghazi attack.</p>
<p>While in Syria, Fluke-Ekren stated that she was involved in weapons training with groups of women, including teenage girls and some girls as young as 10 years old. The weapons included AK-47s, grenades, and suicide vests.</p>
