Mother admits possessing terror documents
Houria Chahed Chentouf, 41, from Manchester, entered guilty pleas to two counts of the charge at Manchester Crown Court.
The Moroccan, who has lived in The Hague, Holland, for more than 20 years, was stopped and searched at Liverpool John Lennon Airport on October 16 last year.
She accidentally dropped a pen drive tied to the inner sleeve of her burka while she was being interviewed by officers at the airport, the court heard.
The memory stick contained more than 7,000 files including an explosives manual for the "Brothers of the Mujahadeen". It was described by police as "a mini-encyclopedia of weapons making".
She was released but arrested the following day at a house in Longsight, Manchester, and charged under the Terrorism Act 2000.
Prosecutor Simon Denison told the court one of the documents found on the drive contained information about the military use of electronics. Officers said the documents, some of which ran to 900 pages, would have been enough to fill two floors of the Marks & Spencer store in Manchester.
Evidence was also uncovered from internet chatroom sites which indicated Chentouf's support for those seeking martyrdom.
