Young Mum Guilty Of Funding Jihadists In Syria A young mother has become the first Briton to be convicted of funding jihadists in Syria. Amal El-Wahabi, who was convicted at the Old Bailey in London, has been jailed for 28 months and seven days for trying to send cash to her fighter husband. El-Wahabi, 28, fooled old school friend Nawal Msaad into agreeing to take £15,830 in cash to Turkey for El-Wahabi's husband, Aine Davis, a drug dealer who went to Syria to fight in July last year. The plot was foiled when Ms Msaad, who was due to fly to Istanbul, was stopped at Heathrow and produced the rolled-up notes from her underwear. Msaad was also put on trial but subsequently cleared by the jury.

He said: "I am also satisfied that you knew he was engaged in violence with guns for extremist religious and ideological reasons and knew the money you were sending was destined for that purpose." The judge described Davis's WhatsApp profile picture showing him brandishing an automatic weapon as a "particularly shocking image," making it clear what he was doing in Syria, along with other images he sent her posing with guns.

You even contemplated taking your children to Turkey to be nearer their father, when it should have been obvious to you it was in their interests they should be as far away from him as possible. He had no true regard for you. Any interest he had in you was only engaged when there was some advantage to him.

Your children are the innocent victims of the offence you have committed and indirectly victims of what Aine Davis was engaged in. They are entirely blameless.
