Walsall terror cell: Jihadi bride's children to live with relatives
Three children, whose British Muslim mother has been jailed after planning a move to the so-called Islamic State, are to live with relatives pending decisions about their long-term future, a High Court judge has been told.
Lorna Moore, aged 34, of Glebe Street, Walsall, was given a two-and-a-half-year jail term earlier this week following a trial at the Old Bailey.
Lawyers representing social services at Walsall Council, which has responsibility for the children, outlined plans for the youngsters at a private hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London.
They told Mr Justice Keehan that the youngsters would live with family members in the short term.

The judge was told that Moore would be able to stay in touch with the youngsters. He approved the plan and is expected to make decisions about where the children will live in the long term after social workers have assessed options.
Moore had planned to take the children to a war zone in Syria, an Old Bailey trial had heard.
