‘ mom’ Allison Fluke-Ekren was denied bail after appearing in court in on Thursday to face terrorism charges for ‘joining ISIS and leading an all-female battalion armed with AK-47 rifles in .’ 

Fluke-Ekren, 42, of Topeka, is accused of providing and conspiring to provide material support to ISIS after joining the terrorist organization overseas in 2014, prosecutors say. 

Authorities released a booking photo following her arrest last week, in which she is wearing a black hijab, and revealed she was known by the names, 핑카지노 Umm Mohammed al-Amriki, Umm Mohammed, and Umm Jabril.  

She first appeared in court on Monday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria. 

At the end of the hearing First Assistant U.S. Attorney Raj Parekh told the judge that he had been in contact with Fluke-Ekren’s parents and her adult children, and they all said they wanted no contact with her. 

Prosecutors say Fluke-Ekren wanted to recruit operatives to attack a college campus in the U.S. and discussed the idea of attacking a shopping mall by remotely detonating a car full of explosives in the parking garage.

She told one witness that ‘she considered any attack that did not kill a large number of individuals to be a waste of resources,’ according to an FBI affidavit.

The same witness said that when Fluke-Ekren would hear about terrorist attacks in countries outside the U.S., she would comment that she wished the attack occurred on American soil instead.

The affidavit also alleges Fluke-Ekren, who went by the names ‘Umm Mohammed al-Amriki,’ ‘Umm Mohammed,’ and ‘Umm Jabril,’ became a leader of an Islamic State unit called ‘Khatiba Nusaybah’ in the Syrian city of Raqqa in late 2016.

The all-female unit comprised of the wives of male ISIS fighters was trained in the use of AK-47 rifles, grenades and suicide belts. 

The members of Khatiba Nusaybah were allegedly instructed on physical training, medical training, Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device driving courses, religious classes and how to pack and prepare a ‘go bag’ with military supplies. According to eyewitness accounts, some of these classes were allegedly taught by Fluke-Ekren. 

She also is accused of providing ISIS and ISIS members with services, which included lodging, translating speeches made by ISIS leaders, training children on the use of AK-47 assault rifles and suicide belts, and teaching extremist ISIS doctrine, prosecutors said.   

Fluke-Ekren has been accused of trying to ransom her own children back to their father in Kansas after she fled with them to the Middle East, DailyMail.com can reveal. 

Her former sister-in-law, Amy Fluke, 49, has revealed the mom began sending her ex-husband emails and notes demanding more than $6,000 for the return of their two kids, shortly after moving abroad. 

‘The first month they were away in Turkey we could still call and talk to Gabe and Alaina, but after that we lost all contact. And that broke my brother,’ Amy told DailyMail.com.

‘That’s when the really weird stuff started happening. It started with ransom notes.

‘We would get them by mail or emails. They were telling him he could have the kids back for a certain amount of money. Sometimes it was $5,000 or $6,000, and it started being more and more. I don’t remember the highest amount. 

‘But we wanted to get the children back legally, so he didn’t pay any ransom. We were trying to fight for the opportunity to get them back to the United States to have a custody hearing, and that’s when we lost all contact with the children for about five or six years,’ she added.

It was not clear whether any ransom money would have been diverted to ISIS.

DailyMail.com also found that Fluke-Ekren – who is now charged with supporting a terrorist organization – faked her own death while living in Syria and taunted her ex husband that his daughter, Alaina, was dead.

Relatives revealed Gabriel managed to escape back to the US when he was 17 and he has made a new life for himself, but Alaina’s whereabouts remain unknown and she could still be in Syria.

Amy made the ransom revelation as James Fluke spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com following his ex-wife’s court appearance Monday where she was charged with being a member of Islamic State and leading an all-female battalion armed with AK-47 assault rifles. 

‘I hope they lock her up and throw away the key,’ he said. ‘She kidnapped my kids for ten years. She’s manipulative. She always has been. She’s always wanted the spotlight. There is no way to adequately describe how manipulative she is.’

Speaking at his modest home in a quiet corner of Topeka, Kansas, he continued: ‘Imagine your wife stabbing you with a sharp object and then for some odd reason she discusses this with you to the point where you are apologizing for it.

Asked about his reaction to the terrorist accusations against her, Fluke — who fits tires and mufflers for Midas — added: ‘I can’t even wrap my head around it. I hope she gets what she deserves. I hope it’s done right.’

A criminal complaint was filed under seal against Fluke-Ekren in 2019, however, she was whisked back to the United States from Syria to face charges on January 31. 

Other members of her former family in Topeka exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com that the nature-loving Fluke-Ekren grew up as Allison Brooks on an isolated farm in Overbrook, Kansas, which could only be accessed through dirt roads. 

She and Fluke had two children, Gabriel, now 25, and Alaina, who would be 24 if she is still alive. The now alleged terrorist became pregnant with Gabriel at 17 when she was a student at Topeka Collegiate School and dropped out of high school.

But Fluke worked two jobs — washing cars by day and chauffeuring for a casino at night — so she could get her GED and later attend the University of Kansas — where she began a relationship with Volkan Ekren, a member of a powerful family in Turkey. 

It was then that she started becoming very critical of America to some members of her family in Topeka, relatives told DailyMail.com.

She also dropped out of college and is not a qualified teacher as has been reported.

James and Allison eventually divorced, sparking a bitter custody battle. She then married Ekren and took the children to Turkey with him without her ex’s permission.

A Fluke family member who did not want to be identified told DailyMail.com: ‘James got Gabe back when he was around 17 after he literally escaped. But Alaina, his biological daughter, she never came back.

‘He still doesn’t know where she is. He believes there comes a time when he just cannot dwell on that. He doesn’t know if Alaina is or was in Syria, somewhere else in the Middle East, or even if she is still alive. He has no idea. He tries not to think about it.’ 

In 2008, Fluke-Ekren left Turkey and moved to Cairo, Egypt with her new husband and taught children there.

She traveled frequently between Egypt and the US for the next three years but had not been in the States since 2011, according to court documents. She is believed to have moved to Syria around 2012.

According to prosecutors, her husband was killed in the Syrian city of Tell Abyad while trying to carry out a terrorist attack in early 2016.

The alleged terrorist mom then went on to marry a Bangladeshi ISIS member who specialized in drones, but he died in late 2016 or early 2017, authorities say. 

Four months after that man’s death, she again remarried a prominent Islamic state leader who was responsible for the Islamic State group’s defense of the Syrian city of Raqqa, which became the capital of ISIS’s self-proclaimed caliphate. 

She is believed to have had at least three mor
