Aimee Betro, an American hitwoman, was allegedly hired by two men to murder a family in Birmingham.
Betro used her hijab as a disguise during the assassination attempt, which ultimately failed.
After the failed attempt, Betro fled the scene and later texted the main target.
She flew back to the US, initiating an international manhunt.
The two men who hired her were found guilty of conspiracy to murder and other charges.
Betro had traveled to the UK before the attempted shooting, staying in various cities.
The disputes between the perpetrators and victims dated back to 2018.
One of the men involved was also charged with gun smuggling and perverting the course of justice.
