Shannen Rossmiller
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shannen Rossmiller is an American judge, serving in Montana, who has a controversial role as a vigilante online terrorist-hunter, once part of the 7Seas group.[1]
A former high school cheerleader[2]and mother of three[3], Rossmiller poses as militant anti-American Muslim radicals online, hoping to attract the eye of those with similar mindsets. Whilst still a member of 7-Seas,[4] she provided evidence that ultimately convicted National Guardsman Ryan G. Anderson of attempting to defect to al-Qaeda.[5]
On May 18, 2002, a "suspicious phone call" to Conrad City Hall saw Rossmiller placed under police protection[6]
In 2005, she offered the transient Michael Reynolds $40,000 to purchase fuel trucks to attack American pipelines, while posing as an al-Qaeda financier.
She appeared in the BBC documentary entitled "The New al-Qaeda".[7]
A publicist is currently seeking a book or movie deal based on Rossmiller's story. [8]
