A 23-year-old girlfriend of a member of Islamic State (IS) militant group in the UK was today found guilty of funding his terrorist activities in Syria.
Hana Khan, is facing jail after she sent his IS terrorist 1,000 pounds to help fund his activities in Syria.
She posted the money to Jafar Turay, after he sent her 'disturbing' photos of young children posing with machine guns in the war-ravaged country.
She told her Jihadi boyfriend the pictures were beautiful and that she hope to marry the 28-year-old.
Khan was found guilty of funding terrorism at the Old Bailey after facing a two-week long trial.
"Khan was involved in sending funds for his use in Syria, knowing exactly what he had gone there for, Prosecutor Chris Hehir was quoted by The Mirror as saying.
"They knew that he had gone there to fight, in other words to use or threaten serious violence in furtherance of a cause," he said.
