Daniela Greene, born in Czechoslovakia in 1980 and raised in Germany, became an American citizen after marrying a US Armed Services member.
[1] Greene told her FBI superiors she was going to use a vacation to visit relatives back in Germany, when in reality she had used her third, unauthorized Skype account to plan to meet Cuspert in ISIL-occupied Syria.
[1] CNN reported that Greene realized she had made a mistake within weeks of her arrival and found a way to return to the US, knowing she would face arrest and imprisonment.
CNN reported that her charge and sentence was considerably lighter than those of other Americans who had merely made unsuccessful attempts to travel to ISIL territory.
[5] In 2019, when ISIL's last enclave was collapsing, Greene was compared to Hoda Muthana, an Alabama widow who had married a Jihadi fighter and then escaped to a refugee camp, and was determined to have never had US citizenship.
