LONDON—A British teenage girl has become the youngest convicted ISIS terrorist after MI5 operatives posing as jihadis uncovered a plot to attack London by befriending her “online husband” in Syria.

Safaa Boular, 18, was found guilty of plotting with her sister and mother—as part of the first female-only cell known in the UK—to carry out a gun and grenade attack on the British Museum.
