WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- An American journalist abducted by a terrorist group in Iraq is from Wisconsin, according to reports. 

Shelly Kittleson is a freelancer who routinely works in the Middle East. 

The Monticello, Wisconsin native was reportedly shoved into a car by members of an Iranian-backed paramilitary group. She hasn't been heard from since. 

State Department officials say she was warned multiple times of a potential kidnapping plot but chose to keep working. 

We know at least one person has been arrested, but Kittleson is still missing.
