A 19-year-old suburban Denver woman has been arrested for trying to provide support to the so-called Islamic State of Syria and the Levant (ISIL).

Shannon Maureen Conley had told FBI agents that she wanted to use her American military training from the US Army Explorers to start a “holy war” overseas, even though she knew that it was illegal, according to the newly released federal court records. Her "legitimate targets of attack" included military facilities, government employees and public officials, the documents said.

Conley was arrested in April as she attempted to board a flight she hoped would ultimately get her to Syria, according to recently unsealed court documents.

Conley, a Muslim convert, was arrested at Denver International Airport, telling agents she planned to live with a suitor she met online, apparently a Tunisian man who claimed to be fighting for an al-Qaeda splinter group, the ISIL.

A nurse's aide, Conley told investigators she planned to fly to Turkey and then travel to Syria to become a housewife and a nurse at the man's camp, providing medical services and training.

Officials began to investigate Conley after the pastor at Faith Bible Chapel in Arvada, Colorado, alerted local police and the Colorado FBI to a woman suspiciously taking notes of the layout of the church's campus.
