A British mother-of-six has been jailed for more than five years for promoting terrorism on Facebook.

Runa Khan, 35, praised an article giving tips on how to prepare young children for jihad and unwittingly passed a route to war-hit Syria to an undercover police officer.

She also posted a picture of a suicide vest.

Khan took a picture of her toddler son holding a toy assault rifle and daydreamed about sending his eight-year-old brother to fight when he grows up.

Kingston Crown Court heard when she was arrested, police found the photo of the two-year-old and a jihadist book on her phone, as well as images of her and her older children holding a sword.

Khan also appeared to glorify the murder of soldier Lee Rigby in London last year, while she repeatedly spoke of her desperation to travel to Syria in messages on WhatsApp.

The woman, from Luton, admitted four charges of disseminating terrorist publications between July and September 2013.
