• Former Kansas resident Allison Fluke-Ekren pleaded guilty Tuesday to leading an ISIS women’s battalion. The former teacher converted to Islam and left the U.S. for stints in Libya, Iraq, and Syria, training women and girls—including her daughter—to fight and planning terrorist attacks until her detainment in 2021, according to the Department of Justice.

• The FBI has seized the electronic data of retired Marine Gen. John Allen as part of an investigation of his connection to illegal lobbying on behalf of Qatar in 2017. Allen led U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan and heads the Brookings Institution, an influential think tank.
