Two women from New York, ages 28 and 31 who were roommates, were accused of being involved in ISIS. They were accused of supposedly planning to build an explosive device which would take part in an ISIS attack. They had a federal court hearing in Brooklyn, New York and both pleaded not-guilty. One of the women, who appeared in a head scarf was smiling while there, and the other showed no emotion at all. As of 2 p.m. on May 7th, their next court date will be May 20th. One of the women, Noelle Velentzas stated that she didn't understand why people were travelling to other countries, when they could just plan and create terrorist attacks in their own country. Both of the women are U.S citizens, and the charges against them are development of destructive weapons and conspiracy.
