WILMINGTON, N.C. – A federal judge in North Carolina ruled Friday that a Raleigh school administrator accused of paying a hit man to behead three witnesses in a terrorism case should be held without bond until her trial.
Nevine Aly Elshiekh made her first court appearance Friday after being arrested last month after FBI agents tracked her to a meeting with a government informant. Agents say the 46-year-old educator provided the names of those to be killed and a $750 down payment toward the first hit.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert B. Jones Jr. ruled that there was enough evidence for her to stand trial and ordered her held without bail.
Prosecutors say the plot was masterminded by Hysen Sherifi, sentenced last month to 45 years for a conspiracy to attack the Marine base at Quantico, Va.
Also arrested in the beheading plot is Shkumbin Sherifi, the 21-year-old brother of the terror defendant. He was ordered held without bail following a similar hearing last week.
They were taken into custody after a sting operation where prosecutors said the pair paid an FBI informant a total of $5,000. That informant, posing as the hit man’s representative, later provided Shkumbin Sherifi a fake photo of what appeared to be the intended victim’s severed head.
The cash came from the sale of gold jewelry and other items Elshiekh gave to Shkumbin Sherifi to pawn, according to the FBI.
