Boular was shot four times when armed police stormed Barghouthi's home in Willesden, North West London, on April 27.

She had emergency surgery and was arrested on discharge from hospital.

Her mother Dich was detained in a separate raid in Kent.

Today all three women appeared at the Old Bailey via video link from HMP Bronzefield.

They are each charged with one count of engaging in the preparation of a terrorist act and one count of conspiracy to murder between April 11 and 28.
