'I Was In An Abusive And Controlling Relationship': Westfield Bomb-Maker's Wife Tries To Blame Her Husband In Begging Letter To Judge - But She Still Gets 25 Year Minimum, While He Gets 27 Years

Sana Ahmed Khan (top right), 24, an English graduate whose mother was a magistrate, begged the judge for mercy as she was ordered to spend 25 years behind bars for her part in the terror plot. 

In a letter written to the judge (left), she said she 'should have distanced herself' from Mohammed Rehman (bottom right) 'a long time ago' and had recently written to her husband granting him an Islamic divorce. 

She also said she 'desperately wanted to stop' but that her addiction to drugs had clouded her mind. It came as unemployed Rehman - whose dream of blowing up either Westfield shopping centre (inset) or the London Underground was funded by his wife - was jailed for a minimum of 27 years. 

But Mr Justice Jeremy Baker dismissed her pleading letter, sentencing her to life imprisonment, and saying she had 'full knowledge' of Rehman's plans and 'took a full and active part' in encouraging it. 

The judge added that the plot was at a 'relatively advanced stage' and if successful would have resulted in multiple casualties. Yesterday, the pair were found guilty at the Old Bailey of preparing acts for terror. It came after a three-week trial and more than three days of deliberations.
