She is the youngest female to be charged with making plans an IS attack in Britain.
Boular was once only 16 when she made touch with British-born IS fighter Naweed Hussain, 32, discussing marriage and how they'd don his-and-hers suicide belts.

Hussain was once later killed in a drone strike.
When Boular was once charged with getting ready terrorist acts in April 2017, she handed the baton to her sister Rizlaine, 22, and their mom Mina Dich, 44, who hatched their very own plan.
The trio had been taped speaking about an Alice in Wonderland-themed tea party, which the prosecution argued was once code for an attack.

They pleaded accountable to terror offences, along side a fourth lady, Rizlaine's pal Khawla Barghouthi, 21, who later admitted failing to alert the government.

Dean Haydon, Britain's best counter-terror police officer, stated the plot "involved a family with murderous intent, the first all-female terrorist plot in the UK connected to Daesh (IS)".
