Wife cleared of hiding husband's terrorism

A young wife who was alleged to have pledged her baby son would follow if her husband died a martyr was cleared today of concealing his terrorism.

Bouchra El Hor, 24, was found not guilty at the Old Bailey of failing to disclose information about her husband, Yassin Nassari, which could have prevented an act of terrorism.

London-born Nassari, 28, was found guilty of having documents and data for terrorism following a search of their luggage at Luton Airport in May last year.

The court was told the couple, from Ealing, west London, were stopped when returning to England from Holland.

Nassari's hard drive was found and later discovered to contain plans for building a missile similar to those used in the Middle East. He also had a letter from Dutch national El Hor in which she appeared to be encouraging him to become a terrorist martyr.

But she told the court the letter was a work of fiction and she knew nothing about what Nassari was doing.
