Pennsylvania woman, Colleen R. LaRose, who called herself "Jihad Jane," was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison for her part in a conspiracy to kill Swedish artist Lars Vilks.

LaRose faced the possibility of life in prison for her crime, but, because she had cooperated with authorities, helping indict two others in the case, she was given 10 years of incarceration with 5 years of supervised release at the request of the government. This despite prosecutor beliefs she should have received a harsher sentence of several decades as they feel that LaRose is still dangerous.

LaRose pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to support terrorists, conspiracy to kill in a foreign country, lying to investigators, and attempted identity theft last week.

Because LaRose has been in prison for four years since her arrest after returning to the U.S. in 2009, she can be released in as little as four years with time off for good behavior.

Her initial arrest was kept secret for months until her seven co-conspirators could be arrested in Ireland. Two of whom, Jamie Paulin-Ramirez and Mohammad Hassan Khalid, are scheduled for sentencing later this week. Ireland would later release five of those arrested.

It was in 2009 that “Jihad Jane” and her co-conspirators targetted Swedish artist Lars Vilks after Iraqi extremists offered a reward of $100,000 for his death following the artist’s series of drawings depicting the prophet Mohammed as a dog. Vilks would never suffer any attacks because of that reward.

50-year-old LaRose told the judge at her sentencing that she had become obsessed with the idea of jihad after her recruitment, but then said, “Idon’t want to be into Jihad no more.”

Judge Petrese Tucker said during sentencing that she had no doubt that LaRose would have killed Vilks if she had the chance. “The fact that out of boredom, or out of being housebound, she took to the computer and communicated with the people she communicated with, and hatched this mission, is just unbelievable,” Tucker said.
