'Mother of Satan' plotter's bid for freedom

Jihadi mum planned Xmas bomb

- BY DAN WARBURTON

A CHEMIST who plotted a 'Mother of Satan' bomb attack at Christmas is trying to get out of jail after serving just seven years.

Former Boots pharmacist Rowaida El-Hassan, 41, met Munir Mohammed on a Muslim dating site and they shared beheading videos within weeks of hooking up.

El-Hassan hoarded chemicals after Mohammed, 45, learned how to make explosives from the same online video manual used by Manchester bomber Salman Abedi.

Mohammed was caught by police with two of the ingredients needed to make acetone peroxide, a favourite terrorist explosive dubbed 'Mother of Satan'.
