Wife urged man to die for jihad, court told

"A young wife urged her husband to die waging jihad, and offered herself and her baby son as martyrs, a court heard yesterday.

[...]

The letter which the court heard was written by Ms El Hor to her husband stated: "The moment has come that you and I have to separate for the sake of Allah.
"I am happy that Allah has granted you the chance to be a martyr ... I wish I could go with you because I too feel obligated.
"Maybe one day I can follow you. If I can't, I will send our son to you so he can follow his father's footsteps."
