An 18-year-old woman on Monday became Britain's youngest convicted female Islamic State terrorist after a court found her guilty of plotting a terror attack on the iconic British Museum with Britain's first all-woman cell. Safaa Boular was accused of planning to travel to Syria to join IS militants and later preparing to carry out a terrorist attack in London after her fiance, an Islamic State fighter, died. A jury at the Old Bailey found her guilty of two offences of preparation of terrorism acts, the BBC reported. She was also found guilty over an earlier attempt to travel to Syria for terrorism.
Her 22-year-old sister Rizlaine has already admitted planning a knife attack on London and their mother Mina Dich, 44, has pleaded guilty to assisting her. Boular will be sentenced in around six week-time, the report said.
