An American woman on Tuesday was found guilty at a United Kingdom court of participating in a 2019 plot to murder a British man caught up in a bitter feud between families.

Aimee Betro, 45, was extradited earlier this year from Armenia, where she was living, to face trial in the central English city of Birmingham.

Prosecutors told the court Betro had covered her face in a niqab as she climbed out of a car in September 2019 and tried to shoot Sikander Ali at point-blank range.

But the handgun jammed and Ali fled to his car parked outside his home.

The investigation into the Wisconsin native revealed her to be "fairly unexceptional" with virtually no "criminal footprint," the BBC reported .
