DENVER -- The FBI said Tuesday that it's investigating the
possibility that three girls from the Denver area tried to travel to
Syria to join Islamic State extremists.
An FBI
spokeswoman says agents helped bring the girls back to Denver after
stopping them in Germany. Spokeswoman Suzie Payne says they're safe and
have been reunited with their families.
She didn't identify the girls or provided other details.
The
announcement comes one month after 19-year-old Shannon Conley of
Arvada, Colorado, pleaded guilty to charges that she conspired to help
militants in Syria.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Denver declined to comment on the latest cases. It's unclear whether the girls will face charges.
Crimes
committed by juveniles are treated as acts of "delinquency" in the
federal system and are not handled the same way as crimes committed by
adults.
Authorities have not said how the
girls became interested in helping the Islamic State group. In Conley's
case, she told agents she wanted to marry a suitor she met online who
said he was a Tunisian man fighting with the Islamic State in Syria.
Conley
said she wanted to use her American military training with the U.S.
Army Explorers to fight a holy war overseas, authorities said. If she
could not fight with the extremists, she told agents, she would use her
training as a nurse's aide.
Agents, who had
been overtly trying to stop Conley, arrested her in April as she boarded
a flight she hoped would ultimately get her to Syria. She could face up
to five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine when she is
sentenced in January.
Foreign fighters from
dozens of nations are pouring into the Middle East to join the Islamic
State group and other terrorist organizations. U.S. officials are
putting new energy into trying to understand what radicalizes people far
removed from the fight, and into trying to prod countries to do a
better job of keeping them from joining up.
