A husband and wife from Bradford have been jailed after pleading guilty to preparing for acts of terrorism in November last year.

Ijaz Khan, 28, was arrested in February 2015 at Manchester Airport after information was received that he was planning to travel to Syria to fight with Daesh.

Afsheen Khan, also 28, was arrested by officers from the North East Counter Terrorism Unit (NE CTU) in October 2015.

Detectives say Ijaz Khan made arrangements to travel from Bradford to Syria and obtained money to fund this journey from his wife, Afsheen.

He made a video recording which was a goodbye message to friends and family and spoke of his desire to be martyred.

Counter Terrorism Unit officials say Khan’s purpose of travel was to join Daesh and engage in terrorist activity.

An investigation uncovered the support his wife had given him with his planning and preparation for travel and her knowledge of his intentions.
