IS terrorist's girlfriend faces jail for funding him

The girlfriend of an Islamic State (IS) terrorist is facing jail after sending around 1,000 pounds ($1,550) to Syria to fund his terrorist activities.

Hana Khan wired the money to her boyfriend Jafar Turay after he sent her "disturbing" photographs of children posing with AK-47 rifles in the war ravaged country, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday.

The 23-year-old from Willesden, northwest London, was found guilty of funding terrorism at the Old Bailey Tuesday.

Turay, 28, fled Britain in 2012 after converting to Islam. He is wanted by British police on attempted murder charges said to have been committed before he travelled to Syria.

During a two-week trial, judges heard how Khan sent him 1,000 pounds via Western Union transfer after telling him he looked "beautiful" in a photograph taken with the IS flag.

She received three other photographs of children, thought to be under 10, posing with weapons in Aleppo.

The 23-year-old was found guilty of two charges of funding terrorism.

Prosecutor Chris Hehir rejected Khan's claim that she did not know Turay was fighting on behalf of IS, describing the images sent to her as "disturbing".
