Female terror cell jailed over plot to attack British Museum

A mother and daughter that formed Britain's first all-female Daesh terror cell have been jailed over a plot to attack the British Museum, The Telegraph reported.

Rizlaine Boular, 22, planned to stab random members of the public around the Palace of Westminster causing widespread panic, the Old Bailey heard.

The mother-of-one adopted the murderous scheme from her sister Safaa Boular, 18, who was in custody over an attempt to become a jihadi bride in Syria the year before.

Counter-terrorism police swooped to arrest the plotters after a proactive surveillance operation with MI5, the court has heard.

Rizlaine Boular pleaded guilty to preparing acts of terrorism and was jailed for life with a minimum term of 16 years.

Her Morocco-born mother Mina Dich, 44, from Vauxhall, south London, was handed six years and nine months plus five years on extended license after she admitted helping her.

Judge Mark Dennis QC said Dich "failed in her parental role" to stop Rizlaine Boular and said she played a "significant role" in radicalizing both her daughters.

Safaa Boular, 18, Britain's youngest female IS terror plotter, will be sentenced at a later date after she was found guilty of preparing terrorism in the UK and Syria.
