The money was then wired to ISIS accounts to  used by the extremists in the Middle East to fund their reign of terror.  Three covert payments were made through transfers using third party names to Khan and Nijjer also used money she raised to buy chargers for iPads and smartphones, solar panels, flip flops and boots which she was going to send to Syria.

Nijjer, admitted two counts of a funding arrangement contrary to section 17 of the Terrorism Act 2000 and was jailed for five years and three months. The whereabouts of her ISIS terrorist husband are not known, but it is presumed he is still spilling blood in the name of ISIS.
