Contrary to CNN's headline, 2 charged in 'plot to kill Swedish cartoonist', the two males were charged with much lesser crimes than conspiracy to murder:

March 16, 2010 -- Updated 1335 GMT (2135 HKT)
(CNN) -- Irish authorities said Tuesday they have charged two men .....
The two men appeared in Waterford District Court on Monday night, the Courts Service of Ireland said. ......
The first man, Ali Charaf Damache, was charged with making a menacing call to an individual.
The other man, Abdul Salem Monsour Khalil al Jahani, was charged with failure to produce a valid passport or other valid document to establish his identity, contrary to the Immigration Act 2004.
The Irish Times reported that al Jahani admitted telling investigators he gave a false name when he came to the Republic of Ireland to claim asylum in July 2001.
Both men were remanded into custody until their next court appearance Friday.
Damache is the Algerian with links to both Jihad Jane and Jihad Jamie.
I think these cases are relevant with regard to Islamist aspirations to circumvent stereotypes.
When Daniel Patrick Boyd and friends made the news, I mentioned it to a retired senior MI guy who blew it off as unimportant because he didn't believe that Boyd was really connected directly to AQ. That seemed a strange reaction since it really doesn't matter whether or not he was connected to anybody. What matters is what Boyd was preparing to do, not what organizational credentials he did or did not have.
Likewise, these women may be nuts, but I think it is worth noting that they don't fit the typical profile.
in a superseding indictment - DoJ Press Release and Superseding Indictment.
The superseding indictment charges Ramirez with one count of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. The charges against LaRose remain unchanged, and carry a maximum potential sentence of life in prison.
