American Jihadi ISIS bride faces 60 years in prison if she gets her wish to return to the US
Legal experts have said an American ISIS bride, who left the country to join the terrorist outfit and is now begging to be allowed to return, could face a decades of prison sentence if she gets her wish.
In 2014, Hoda Muthana, 24, left Hoover, Alabama to join the Islamic State and tweeted several calls for American Muslims to launch terror attacks on Memorial Day, Daily Mail reports.
Now, Muthana, curently at the al-Hawl refugee camp in Syria, admits it was a "huge mistake" running away to join IS and wants to come back home. However, even if she somehow manages to return to the US, she could be sentenced to 60 years in prison, legal experts say.
