A would-be assassin who tried to shoot a rival at point-blank range while disguised in a niqab has been found guilty of conspiracy to murder.
Aimee Betro, 45, who is originally from the US, flew to the UK as part of a revenge plot orchestrated by co-conspirators Mohammed Aslam, 59, and Mohammed Nabil Nazir, 31, to attack a family they had been feuding with.
Birmingham crown court heard how she had tried to shoot Sikander Ali outside his home in Yardley, Birmingham, on the evening of 7 September 2019, but her handgun jammed.
Betro, who fled to the US while Aslam and Nazir were tried in the same court, will be sentenced at a later date.
