Hitwoman in a hijab: The Failed Murder Plot Across the Atlantic
Brazen Actions and Threatening Messages
Prosecutors said that after the failed shooting, Betro sent a taunting text to Ali’s father:
“Where are you hiding? Stop playing hide and seek, you are lucky it jammed.”
Hours later, Betro allegedly returned to the home and fired three shots into the property while it was unoccupied. She then flew back to the United States the next day.
Calling her crimes “brazen,” Orencas noted there “didn’t seem to be a whole lot of effort to avoid detection,” according to People.

Betro was arrested last year in Armenia and extradited to the UK in January.
During her trial, prosecutors also linked her to another plot weeks after the attempted murder. Authorities say she mailed ammunition and gun parts to the UK in an attempt to frame a rival of Nazir. Her DNA was found on the packages, and surveillance footage showed her mailing them under a false name.
