Woman accused of threatening agents

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- A southwest Missouri woman is charged with communicating threats of violence over the Internet after prosecutors say she sent pro-Islamic State group messages over social media.

Safya Roe Yassin is a U.S. citizen charged in a federal complaint Wednesday alleging she posted a threat last August on Twitter against two FBI agents.

An affidavit, unsealed Thursday, states the 38-year-old Buffalo, Missouri, woman posted the names, residences and phone numbers of the two FBI agents under the words "Wanted to kill."

The affidavit states she also posted a link in a retweet listing the hometowns and phone numbers of about 150 Air Force personnel.

A federal judge on Thursday appointed the Federal Public Defenders' Office to represent her. Nobody was available at its Springfield office after hours to answer questions.
