Brit couple jailed for sending money to front line ISIS fighter nephew who celebrated Charlie Hebdo deaths and November Paris attacks
Mohammed and Nazimabee Golamully sent £219 to their nephew while he fought Kurdish rebels in Syria
A HOSPITAL boss and his wife were jailed yesterday for sending cash to a nephew fighting for IS.
Mohammed and Nazimabee Golamaully wired £219 to a Turkish-based courier for use by Zafirr Golamaully.
The jihadist, in his 20s, was on the front line in Syria fighting the Kurdish rebel group PKK.
The Old Bailey heard that days before the attack on the Charlie Hebdo magazine office in Paris that left 12 dead, he had posted on Twitter “Snail-eating people” and a sad-face emoticon.
And after last year’s atrocity, he declared: “You heard it here first. #SnailEaters ate lead.”
Mum-of-four Namibee, 45, wired the money in August 2014. The cash transfer was exposed when the courier’s activities were investigated.
Judge Anuja Dhir QC said Mohammed, 48, was a “dedicated extremist” at the time, and that his wife had acted under his instructions.
