An Alabama woman and her husband have been sentenced to federal prison for attempting to aid the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).

James Bradley, a.k.a. Abdullah and Arwa Muthana pled guilty in September in New York.

The two were arrested in 2021 in New Jersey as they prepared to board a cargo ship to go and fight for the terrorist group.

Muthana is the sister of Hoda Muthana, a Hoover woman who left her family to join ISIS in 2014.

Bradley was sentenced to 11 years and Muthana to nine years, the U.S. Department of Justice announcement Friday,

“James Bradley and Arwa Muthana were determined to travel to the Middle East to fight in the name of hate and terror,’’ said Southern District of New York U.S. Attorney Damian Williams.

“Even worse, if they failed in making it to the Middle East, Bradley was prepared to carry out an attack on American soil.”

“I commend the FBI New York Joint Terrorism Task Force for investigating and arresting these two individuals before they had the opportunity to wage violence on behalf of a brutal terrorist organization,’’ Williams said. “Bradley and Muthana’s sentences reemphasize this Office’s determination to thwart those who wish to cause suffering and create destruction through terror.”

According to court documents in the case, the two are ISIS supporters who attempted to travel to the Middle East to join and fight for ISIS.

Bradley, documents state, “expressed violent extremist views since at least 2019, including his desire to support ISIS by traveling overseas to join the group or committing a terrorist attack in the United States.

In June 2020, according to documents, he told a confidential information his interest in attacking a military base and that doing so would be his contribution to the cause of jihad.

The next year, in 2021, he told the same informant that he could use his truck in attack and that he, along with Muthana, “could take all of the ROTC cadets out” at a New York university.

In the months and years prior to their arrests in 2021, Bradley and Muthana also accessed, posted, and distributed extremist online content, including materials indicative of their support for ISIS.

That included Bradley posting of images of ISIS fighters, Usama Bin Laden, and terrorist attacks, and his distribution to an informant videos of ISIS fighters, a 2020 stabbing attack against a New York City Police Department officer, and extremists shooting a uniformed soldier.

Content on Muthana’s cellphone included images of an ISIS flag with Arabic writing, firearms, ISIS propaganda, and quotations of the deceased extremist preacher and former al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula member Anwar al-Awlaki, including, for example, a copy of the cover of a book authored by al-Awlaki, titled “44 Ways to Support Jihad.”
