A 34-year-old British Muslim mother has been jailed for two and a half years by a UK court for lying to authorities and trying to take her children, including an 11-month-old baby,to be raised in Islamic State-held territory in Syria.
Muslim convert lorna Moore was found guilty of failing to tell authorities her husband Sajid Aslam, 34, was about to leave for Syria to join Islamic State (ISIS), Old Bailey court in london ruled on Monday.
She was also found guilty of plans to take her three young children to the war zone, including an 11-month-old baby. “One of the troubling things about you is your facility for telling lies,” Judge Charles Wide said in his ruling, adding that she had told “lie after lie”. Moore was convicted alongside 28-year-old Ayman Shaukat, who was found guilty of preparing terrorist acts by helping Aslam and Muslim convert 22-year-old Alex Nash on their way to ISIS territory.
