A woman arrested in Kent during a counter-terrorism swoop has been charged with the preparation of a terrorist act.

The Metropolitan police confirmed Mina Dich, has also been accused of conspiring with two other people - one of whom is her 21-year-old daughter - to commit murder.

The 43-year-old, from south-west London, was detained in the county on April 27.

Dich is the mother of Rizlaine Boular, who was shot by armed police as they entered an address in Harlesden Road, London, as part of the anti-terror raid.

Police said Boular, of central London, was arrested and taken into custody when she was discharged from hospital.

She and the other suspect Khawla Barghouthi, 20, of north-west London, have been detained on the same charges.

All three have been remanded in custody and are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court tomorrow morning.

Police said several other people arrested in connection with the case have been released from police custody.
