British mother convicted of joining ISIS in Syria with young child
2016-01-30
[REUTERS] A 26-year-old mother who took her toddler son to Syria and posted pictures of him next to a weapon has been convicted of belonging to Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS).

Tareena Shakil was found guilty at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday of joining IS and encouraging terrorism on social media.

The 26-year-old boarded a plane to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
in October 2014 with her one-year-old boy, crossed the border into Syria and spent three months there, West Midlands police said in a statement.

She denied joining IS but detectives said Shakil had become a member of the Death Eater group and was set to become a jihadi bride.

A photograph uncovered by police showed her posing in Syria underneath an IS flag. She left the country in January 2015, although it is not known why, the statement added.

by counter-terrorism officers when she returned to Britannia on Feb. 18 after landing at Heathrow Airport. The child was taken into care.

"Tareena Shakil had self-radicalized by viewing Death Eater material on the internet, before leaving the UK," said Assistant Chief Constable Marcus Beale in the statement.

"Our assessment is that she was not naïve. She had absolutely clear intentions when she left the UK, sending tweets encouraging the public to commit acts of terrorism here and then taking her young child to join Daesh [Islamic State] (IS) in Syria.

"Photographs seized from her phone showed Ms Shakil posing with a firearm and wearing a Daesh [Islamic State] balaclava. Another showed a rucksack with a Daesh [Islamic State] logo and person holding a handgun. These were taken while she was in Syria."

Security services estimate some 600 Britons have joined the ranks of Islamic State and other myrmidon groups in Syria and Iraq, many of them crossing via Turkey. About half are believed to have returned to Britannia.
