Bosnian immigrant pleads guilty to role in effort to aid terrorist groups in Iraq and Syria
ST. LOUIS – A Bosnian immigrant who used to live in Illinois has pleaded guilty to a federal charge for her role in an effort to support terrorist groups in Iraq and Syria.
Jasminka Ramic pleaded guilty Monday in federal court in St. Louis to a role in a conspiracy to aid to the Islamic State group and al-Qaida in Iraq. Her sentencing is set for Jan. 6.
Ramic was among six Bosnian immigrants indicted in February and accused of funneling money and military supplies to terror groups. The other five have pleaded not guilty.
Ramic’s attorney, J. Christian Goeke, did not immediately return messages seeking comment.
Ramic became a U.S. citizen in 2006. She formerly lived in Rockford, Illinois, but moved to Germany, where she was arrested.
