The daughter of a Rockford woman accused of supporting extremist groups claims her mother was falsely accused. She says her mother Jasminka Ramic doesn't stand with terrorism and would never send money to a terrorist organization.
Ramic and five others were indicted by the U.S. Attorney’s office in St. Louis Friday. They are accused of funneling money to people in Bosnia and Serbia who then traveled to Syria and Iraq to fight with known terrorist groups, such as ISIS and al-Qaeda in Iraq.
Ramic is charged with sending $550 to support the fighters and their families in 2013.
All six are natives of Bosnia and legal residents of the US. Three live in St. Louis, two in Illinois, and one in New York. The Ramics were in Germany and unaware of the indictment until a reporter contacted them. It's unclear if Ramic was arrested or has a lawyer.
The indictment is available here.
