Last week, Amera Akl pleaded guilty to attempting to provide funds and other equipment to Hezbollah along with her husband, Hor Akl. The Akl’s, who both hold dual American and Lebanese citizen
ship, attempted to conceal $200,000 a vehicle they planned to send to Lebanon.
This marks the fourth American couple motivated by a radical interpretation of Islam to be arrested and charged on terrorism offenses in the past 10 years, though three of the four instances occurred in the last year. In each of these instances, the wife (or ex-wife in one of the cases) played a supporting role for her husband as he engaged in terror activities.
The number of women engaging in terror activities in the U.S. is increasing rapidly. For more info see, Jihad Jamie: Trend Analysis
