Salma Kabal: Terrorist pair facing years in jail as they admit to planning suicide bomb attacks 'to rival 9/11' Salma Kabal, 23, accused of knowing that her husband Ashik Ali, 28, was planning a terror attack to rival 9/11 She was allegedly secretly recorded discussing the attacks with him at a terrorist safe house Court hears she sent a text about Four Lions satire being shown as she tried to rekindle her romance with him Her husband Ashik already convicted of being one of the ringleaders of the plot along with Irfan Khalid, 28, and Irfan Naseer, 31 Bahader Ali, 29, and Mohammed Rizwan, 34, plead guilty to being part of the conspiracy today The estranged wife of a terrorist joked about a Jihad parody movie with him, knowing he wanted to blow himself up like the bombers in the film, a court heard. Salma Kabal, 23, was aware husband Ashik Ali and his accomplices were plotting a string of suicide attacks across Britain but failed to report it to police, it is alleged. She was allegedly secretly recorded discussing the attacks with Ali at the terrorist's safe house in Birmingham. During the conversations she joked that she would be the fourth lion - or 'lioness' in a reference to Chris Morris satire 'Four Lions'. Terror trial: Salma Kabal, 23, was aware husband Ashik Ali and his accomplices were plotting a string of suicide attacks across Britain but failed to report it to police, the court heard On another occasion Kabal sent her husband a text message which said that the film was being shown on Channel 4 as she tried to rekindle their romance. Prosecutors say she knew of the murderous campaign he was planning, replying 'I understand' when Ali suggested a Ramadan observation may be his last, Woolwich Crown Court heard. 'She had information she should have told police about in order to prevent acts of terrorism that she believed were going to take place,' said prosecutor Stuart Baker. Salma Kabal was married to Ashik Ali, but at the time we are concerned with, she was separated from him. But it is clear that she was trying to get back together with him. Transcripts of the married couple discussing their relationship in the safe house on September 17, 2011 were shown to the jury. Terror plot: Ashik Ali, 27, was recorded discussing the film Four Lions with his estranged wife, the court heard. He has been convicted of terror charges Ali is heard arguing with Kabal that she does not believe the terrorist plot is serious, but later they share a light-hearted exchange on the issue. 'Oh, you think this is a flipping Four Lions', Ali told his wife. 'We're one man short, there's three of us. We ain't Four Lions yet'. Kabal replied: 'I'll be your fourth one', before adding 'Lioness' when Ali says she cannot join their cell. During the conversation she begged Ali to resume their relationship despite knowing he was planning to kill himself within two years, the court heard. She asked him to father a child with her, having suffered a miscarriage with his first baby, and refused to accept his plan for her to marry someone else. During three exchanges shown to the jury, Kabal said: 'It's up to me, I'm not stupid. I'm not a kid, I'm not a baby, I do understand things. 'Later on I can't say to you: Oh, you didn't tell me this or you didn't tell me that, because I knew everything.' Prosecutor Mr Baker told the jury: 'If that wasn't true, why would she say it? She wanted to get back together with him despite knowing of his plans to go abroad and commit an act of terrorism. During the conversation, Ali was recorded telling his wife about how he was planning to detonate a series of improvised explosives abroad with other plotters, the court heard. 'Ashik Ali felt able to talk openly with Salma Kabal about his intentions to commit terrorist acts in the future and other related matters', said Mr Baker. The conversation only really works between two people if both have some understanding of what is being referred to, and each are aware of what the other knows and understands. He said Ali told her the bombings would be outside the UK "to protect her from the truth or protect himself and others from loose talk" to stop authorities learning of their plans. In fact, police had been watching the terrorist cell for months and had bugged Ali's flat in Birmingham, in the four days before they were all rounded up, in September 2011. Ali, Irfan Naseer and Irfan Khalid were masterminding the terrorist plot, practicing making bombs and identifying possible targets. Satire: Salma Kabal, 23, was heard discussing Chris Morris' satirical film 'Four Lions' in secret recordings Khalid and Naseer had twice travelled to Pakistan for Jihad training in the mountains, returning to the UK to pass on their knowledge and encouraging others in Birmingham to go abroad for training. 'They were committed to committing acts of terrorism, although the finer details of the plot had not been finally agreed', said Mr Baker. They discussed ways of killing people and discussed their martyrdom. Mr Baker said Kabal could have been aware of the plot for as long as two years prior to her arrest, but did nothing to prevent the terrorist cell from proceeding with its plans. She had become estranged from Ali as he raised funds for his plans through bogus charity collections, but kept quiet because she wanted to be reunited with him, it is alleged. 'It is clear from texts and also conversations that they had, that she wanted him back', said Mr Baker. 'It might help explain why she didn't tell people what Ashik Ali was planning or doing.' 'Terror attack': In the film the bungling extremists plot a terror attack - but there are a series of mishaps When Ali suggested the Ramadan 'could be my last' in August 2011, she replied: 'I understand'. 'Maybe it could his last because he thought he was going to die before the next Ramadan', said Mr Baker. On September 4, Kabal text her husband about Four Lions being shown that evening. 'Why does Salma Kabal draw Ashik Ali's attention to the fact the film was on that day', said Mr Baker. Salma Kabal had apparently had known about what Ashik Ali wanted to do with his life for the last two years of their marriage. All the members of the terrorist cell have either been convicted after trial or admitted terrorist offences and are awaiting sentence. Mr Baker added: 'The prosecution is not saying Salma Kabal was involved in a terrorist plot, but simply she had information she should have told police about.' Prosecutors say the taped conversations show Kabal was fully aware of the plans but chose not to report her husband because she was still in love with her. Kabal was recorded saying: 'Kiss you goodbye in five months innit?', to which Ali replied: 'Hopefully before that'. When Kabal was arrested, she told police: 'I haven't done anything wrong', and refused to answer question in interview. She sat alone in the dock wearing a purple head scarf, listening intently as the case against her was outlined this morning. Kabal, from Birmingham, denies one count of having information about acts of terrorism. Guilty: Bahader Ali, left, and Mohammed Rizwan who today admitted they were involved in a terror plot 'to rival the 9/11 attacks' at Woolwich Crown Court
