Following a seven-month-long investigation, a Virginia woman has been charged with  promoting the Islamic State in social media and offering to help an undercover FBI agent join the extremist group in Syria.

29-year-old Heather Elizabeth Coffman made an initial appearance in U.S. District Court on Monday and was ordered held until a Wednesday afternoon detention hearing. She is now charged with making a materially false statement about an offense involving terrorism.

According to an affidavit filed by an FBI agent, Coffman promoted ISIS on several Facebook accounts she maintained under various names and talked about making arrangements for a man she identified as her husband to train and fight with the Islamic State in Syria. She claimed that the man backed out when they split up.

Coffman offered to make similar arrangements for the FBI agent and a fictitious friend,  encouraging him to support the friend's plan to become a martyr.

One of Coffman's Facebook accounts listed her job and education, translated, as "jihad for Allah's sake," the agent wrote. Her accounts also featured photos of the Islamic State flag and images of men holding AK-47s.

When asked by one Facebook friend why she posted such pictures, Coffman replied, "I love ISIS!"
