A British woman who tried to send 20,000 euros ($25,000) to her husband fighting with Islamic State (IS) group in Syria was on Thursday jailed for 28 months and seven days. Amal El-Wahabi, 28, became the first person in Britain to be convicted of funding the jihadists following a trial in August, which heard how she persuaded a friend to smuggle the cash in her underwear.
The friend, Nawal Msaad, was found not guilty. She had been stopped in January at London's Heathrow Airport, where she was trying to board a flight to Istanbul, with the bank notes concealed in a condom.
