A federal judge in North Carolina has ruled that a Raleigh school administrator accused of paying a hit man to behead three witnesses in a terrorism case should be held without bond until her trial.
Nevine Aly Elshiekh made her first court appearance Friday. She was arrested last month after FBI agents tracked her to a meeting with a government informant. Agents say the 46-year-old educator provided the names of those to be killed and a $750 down payment toward the first hit.
The judge ruled that there is enough evidence for her to stand trial and ordered her held without bail.
Prosecutors say the plot was masterminded by Hysen Sherifi, sentenced last month to 45 years for a conspiracy to attack the Marine base at Quantico, Va.
