Woman gets 3 years for helping fiance flee

A judge sentenced a woman to three years in prison on Friday for helping her fiance flee from London after he failed in an attempted suicide bombing.

Fardosa Abdullahi, 20, helped Yassin Omar escape, dressed as a woman in a burka, after the failure of the bomb plot July 21, 2005.

Abdullahi had pleaded guilty last month but a court order had forbidden reporting the plea until Friday.

She is the last of 16 people who have either been convicted of or admitted to charges linked to attempts to detonate bombs on London subway trains and a bus. The attempts came two weeks after four suicide bombers killed 52 transit passengers in London.
