Original Post
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that a Colorado mother has been arrested in connection with an assassination attempt on a Swedish cartoonist. This is the second American woman to be arrested in terror investigations this week.Jamie Paulin-Ramirez, 31, was arrested in Ireland with several other suspected terror conspirators. She is in the custody of the Irish police, along with six other individuals, arrested as part of an investigation into a conspiracy to commit murder.
Ramirez is described as a mother who had a $30,000-a-year job as a medical assistant in Leadville.
Ramirez disappeared on Sept. 11 and later told her family she went to Ireland with her 6-year-old son and married an Algerian whom she met online, her mother Christine Mott of Leadville told The Associated Press. The Wall Street Journal, quoting anonymous sources familiar with the case, reported on its Web site that Paulin-Ramirez was being held in the alleged plot.
Denver FBI officials said they did not have an open case on Paulin-Ramirez. Her stepfather, George Mott, said the FBI seized a desktop computer in late September but did not tell the family what they found.
