“Wisconsin Resident Waheba Dais Pleads Guilty to Attempting to Provide Material Support to ISIS,” DOJ Press Release States

The evil ideology embraced by Islamic terrorists is not limited to a specific geographic region—ISIS supporters can even be found within the borders of the United States.

A 46-year-old female Wisconsin resident plead guilty “to attempting to provide material support” to ISIS, according to a Department of Justice press release published earlier this week.

The DOJ notes that Waheba Issa Dais utilized hacked Facebook accounts on which she vowed allegiance to the terrorist group more than once, sought to recruit others to its ideology, offered encouragement to ISIS sympathizers and posted content that included “information about explosives and biological weapons”:

According to admissions made in connection with her plea, Dais used hacked Facebook accounts in order to support ISIS. Using these accounts, she pledged her allegiance to ISIS on numerous occasions, communicated with and encouraged other ISIS supporters who described their plans to conduct attacks, disseminated information about explosives and biological weapons, and attempted to recruit new members to ISIS’s cause. For example, Dais posted videos providing step-by-step instructions on how to make an explosive belt and TNT, and she provided a detailed recipe for the poison Ricin.

She also encouraged ISIS sympathizers to carry out terror strikes in their own locales if they could not relocate to ISIS territory:

Dais also maintained encrypted social-media channels, where she posted messages encouraging ISIS supporters who could not travel to ISIS-controlled lands to conduct terrorist attacks in their home countries.  Through those encrypted channels, she also provided detailed information about explosives, guns, attack planning, and target selection.

Dais lived in the U.S. as a legal resident according to the Associated Press which reported that “Dais was born in Jerusalem and was married to a U.S. citizen when she arrived in Chicago in 1992, according to the FBI. They divorced in 2003 and Dais remained in the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident.”
