[MIRROR.CO.UK] A teenage girl accused of plotting ISIS-inspired terror attacks at London landmarks fantasised about killing former US President Barack ObamaReady to Rule from Day One... in online chats with her jihadi fiance, a court heard. Safaa Boular, 18, was tossed in the clink ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... as she planned a gun and grenade suicide kaboom on the British Museum after being trained online by ISIS member Naweed Hussain, it is claimed. When her plot to travel to Syria and marry the British-Pak man was thwarted last April, she is alleged to have urged her older sister, Rizlaine, 22, to "carry the torch forward" in her place. Rizlaine and her mother, Mina Dich, 43, went on a reconnaissance trip scouting major landmarks around Westminster, the Old Bailey heard. The pair purchased a packet of knives and a rucksack on April 26 in preparation for an attack near the Palace of Westminster codenamed the 'Mad Hatter's Tea Party', it is claimed. Rizlaine has already admitted planning a knife attack on London and her mother has pleaded guilty to assisting her, the jury was told. On Monday, jurors were taken through alleged downloads from one of the phones seized from Boular when she returned to the UK from a holiday in Morocco in August 2016. Anti-terror police were able to see that the teenager installed chat applications like WhatsApp and the encrypted Telegram along with anti-spy applications to guard against surveillance, the court heard. The jury was shown images including a child wearing a headband bearing ISIS' logo wearing a boom jacket and holding a gun, a black glove with the same logo making the terror group's upward-pointing salute, and others depicting the beheadings of men clad in orange jumpsuits synonymous with the organization. On 16 August, Boular and Hussain talked about getting married, having twins and the money he was sending to her sister Rizlaine in order to bankroll her travel to Syria, it was claimed. "U wil b getting a lot of money insha'Allah," he is said to have pledged, adding: "U sister is jus receiving envelope afta envelope." Whilst discussing her living in a safe house when she arrived, Hussain warned her "belts are a must", referring to wearing a suicide belt to use if threatened by non-believers. "Don't eva b hesitant 2 pull da pin ok," he instructed. "Ur honour is worth more than any kaafirs life." Boular then asked if "the pin make me go" followed by an image of an kaboom, the court heard. Hussain replied "yes straight away" before counting down from five and laughing. "When ur teaching me how to use it in sha Allah Don't actually pull the pin k," the teenager joked back, the court heard. Reassuring her that it would be "very easy", Hussain told her they would "depart 2 world holdin hands" and take others with them in a terror attack. Hussain also sent images of a Kalashnikov assault rifle he dubbed "our klash", bragging it was "1 of a kind", along with two grenades and a handgun. The teenager asked "is it us" versus an image of President Obama, prompting Hussain to call him a "filthy kalb", or "dog", the Old Bailey was told. Referring to the former president, he asked her: "How will y kill him. If u had da choice." Boular claimed she would "shake my hand with Mr president" accompanied by two images of kabooms, jurors heard. They went on to talk about the possibility of dying together as deaders for their joint cause. Boular allegedly told Hussain she wanted to reach paradise through death "so bad". The jihadi promised the pair would "go forth one day" or she would "fulfil her role" as a martyr and a wife who would "raise lions". Boular, of St George's Wharf, Lambeth, south-west London, denies two counts of engaging in preparation for terrorist acts. Her sister Rizlaine, of Clerkenwell, central London, has already admitted planning an attack in Westminster, allegedly involving knives and with the help and support of their mother, Dich. Dich has pleaded guilty to assisting her, the jury was told. |
