Per her plot, she and her accomplices would dress “like infidels (non-believers) and drop off a backpack with explosives.” The shopping mall plot was similar; Fluke-Ekren “allegedly explained that she could go to a shopping mall in the United States, park a vehicle full of explosives in the basement or parking garage level of the structure, and detonate the explosives in the vehicle with a cell phone triggering device.” She wanted this to be a mass casualty attack. “Fluke-Ekren allegedly considered any attack that did not kill a large number of individuals to be a waste of resources. As alleged by the same witness, Fluke-Ekren would hear about external attacks taking place in countries outside the United States and would comment that she wished the attack occurred on United States soil instead.”<ref>Jessica McBride, [https://heavy.com/news/allison-fluke-ekren-overbrook-kansas-teacher/ Allison Fluke-Ekren: Overbrook, Kansas, Teacher Accused in ISIS Plot], Heavy, Jan 30, 2022</ref>
