Three women including one who was shot during a police raid in north London have been charged with preparing a terrorist act and conspiracy to murder.

Rizlaine Boular, 21, of central London, Khawla Barghouthi, 20, of north-west London, and Mina Dich, 43, of south-west London, were arrested last month and charged on Wednesday, Scotland Yard said.

Boular was shot by armed police during a raid at a property in Harlesden Road, north London, on April 27 and was arrested when she was discharged from hospital on April 30.

Barghouthi was arrested in Harlesden Road on April 27 and Boular's mother, Dich, was arrested on the same day in Kent.

They are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday morning.
