People, this is why you use a revolver.
Also, why did she try to shoot the son of the person she was supposed to kill?
Do they have wetwork class on planes? Between first and business class?

An American woman who traveled to the UK to try to assassinate her lover’s business rivals — only for the gun to jam on her — was sentenced Thursday to 30 years in prison.
Loved-up Aimee Betro, 45, traveled from Wisconsin for the twisted murder plot nearly six years ago in Birmingham, England, to please Mohammed Nazir, a British man she fell for on a dating app.
Surveillance footage caught Betro as she hid behind a full Islamic niqab face covering while waiting in a car — then stepped out to try to shoot her main target’s son, Sikander Ali, as he arrived home, just for the pistol to jam.

She is too far on the wrong side of the hot/crazy chart. I am sure Laz would agree.
I suspect the byline on this story might be a pseudonym. Maybe not, though.
George Orwell’s grandson?
[Also, why did she try to shoot the son of the person she was supposed to kill?]
To draw daddy outside so as to whack him, too?
She looks crazy and stupid.
A gentleman would have cleared the jam for her.
Out of Church. United States. 🧬
Unh uh....she has her glasses on.
Was it a $30.00 .380, or a .25? I want to know how she got the gun after she arrived in the UK.
British?
Are you sure about that?
Did George Orwell have a grandson named Anthony Blair? I was thinking of the former prime minister of that name.
Well they aren’t the smart girl style and in the pic they are a bit crooked. Kind of apt in a way.
Can you really call her a hitwoman? Her CV seems a bit thin and she was doing it for herlover, a little over-entwined there, no professional boundary-setting.
Orwell’s (adopted) son is Richard Blair.
Anthony/Tony Blair was the ex-PM.
Yes. Being Muslim is legal, being Christian isn’t. The can be arrested for silently praying, or just existing. Christians are visitors in England, and there being allowed to remain their is down to the tolerance of others.
Either way, I think a pseudonym is likely here.
If she sent the dating app her mug shot instead of that photo, this whole thing never would have gotten as far as it did.
One disadvantage of the increasing Muslim population: more opportunity for killers to hide in burkas and niqabs.
