MOHAMMED Rehman and his secret wife Sana Ahmed Khan have been found guilty of planning an ISIS inspired attack on London’s Westfield shopping centre on the 10th anniversary of the 7/7 bombings.
The would be jihadi’s plot came undone after Rehman – who dubbed himself the silent bomber – sent out a tweet asking for tips on which was the best target.
Tweeting out a picture of Jihadi John, the fundamentalist appealed to his followers asking: “Westfield shopping centre or London Underground? Any advice would be appreciated greatly.”
Cops then swooped on his home in Reading where they discovered 10kg of nitrate explosives, double the amount of powder the failed 21/7 London bombing attempts used.
Rehman was just days from completing the bomb which could have killed multiple people had he not been foiled by anti-terror police.
Khan funded her husband, who stockpiled the chemicals and even videoed himself setting off a small explosion in his back garden.
Rehman had called 7/7 bomber Shehzad Tanweer his “beloved predecessor” and was also a fan of deceased ISIS executioner Jihadi John.
Middle class Khan was the daughter of a Justice of the Peace had dreams of becoming a teacher after leaving university with a degree in English.
But her life took a turn after she descended into a world of drugs and extremism as she secretly married her terrorist husband without her family knowing.
She bankrolled Rehman’s terrorist activities using payday loans to purchase lethal chemicals and repeatedly watching Tanweer’s 7/7 martyrdom video.
In total she gave her jihadi husband more than £12,000 over 17 months taking out four £800 payday loans from the company QuickQuid, the court heard.
Security services were alerted when Rehman started spewing hate filled Islamist rants on twitter telling one follower: “Are you actually trying? Why don't you head to the London Underground on the 7th of July if YOU got the balls.”
He also tweeted after posting a picture of bucket of explosives: "Not bad for an amateur LOL a martyrs nutrition!"
The dangerous jihadi even bragged: “I'm preparing for an Istishaadi [martyrdom] operation. Now I just make explosives in preparations for kuffar lol & when I've made the required amount I'll be wearing them on my chest”.
Following his arrest he claimed to be pretending to be a “Jihadi warrior” and turned on his wife in court with each accusing the other of being the “real extremist”.
