An 18-year-old Maryland teen has been indicted on charges he helped the terror suspect dubbed "Jihad Jane" with her plot to kill a Swedish artist.
Federal authorities say they indicted Mohammad Hassan Khalid, a legal immigrant from Pakistan and former high school honors student.
Khalid has been the rare juvenile in federal custody since his July 6 arrest, when he was 17, at his family's home.
The indictment charges that he helped recruit women with passports to further the plot of Colleen LaRose of Pennsylvania and others. He faces up to 15 years, and could be deported, if convicted.
Also named in the indictment released Thursday is Ali Charaf Damache, an Algerian who lived in Ireland and married another suspect in the case, Jamie Paulin-Ramirez of Colorado.
