Mum and daughter jailed for terror plot

A court on Friday jailed a mother and daughter, who formed an all-female terrorist cell linked to the Islamic State group, for plotting an attack in Britain. Rizlaine Boular, 22, was jailed for life. She had planned to stab people around the Palace of Westminster in central London last year, while her 44-year-old mother Mina Dich admitted aiding her plot. The scheme had been hatched by younger sister Safaa Boular, 18, who wanted to target crowds at the British Museum but had been arrested and remanded in jail over her attempt to become a jihadi bride in Syria. Following her detention the siblings shared phone calls in which they discussed holding an “Alice In Wonderland” themed tea party that prosecutors said was code for an attack. The security services launched a proactive surveillance operation, and in April 2017 tracked Rizlaine Boular and her mother.
