The sister-in-law of the man thought to be the new Jihadi John has been jailed for trying to take her children to Syria.
Mother Zahera Tariq, 33, was handed a three-year jail term after being convicted of four counts of abduction by a jury at London's Southwark Crown Court.
Judge Alistair McCreath described Tariq's actions as 'a serious example of child abduction' and emphasised the stress her actions caused to her husband.
She sparked an international manhunt after disappearing with her children - three boys and a girl aged between 12 and five -at the end of the school holidays last August.
Tariq and her children, aged five to 12, travelled to Amsterdam while her husband was at work, the trial heard.
The family then went to Turkey and were detained three days later, on August 29 last year, in Kilis, Turkey, close to Syrian territory held by IS.
Tariq, from Walthamstow, East London, said her sister Aisha went to Syria with her children in 2014 to join her husband, Siddhartha Dhar.
The defendant said she took her four children because she thought her sister, the children's aunt.
