Washington, Apr. 3 : An apparent friend of the US woman known as ''Jihad Jane'' has been charged with terror offences after she flew to the US from Ireland and surrendered to authorities.

Jamie Paulin-Ramirez, 31, from Colorado, is accused of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and attend a terror training camp, Sky News quoted the US Justice Department, as saying.

Dubbed by some as "Jihad Jamie", Paulin-Ramirez was reportedly arrested in Ireland last month for allegedly plotting to kill a Swedish cartoonist who had drawn the Prophet Mohammed as a dog.

She was also accused of planning to claim a 100, 000 dollar al Qaeda bounty for the job, but was later freed without charge.

According to reports, Paulin-Ramirez is pregnant. (ANI)
