(BBC) A woman has been found guilty of taking a three-year-old British child to Kenya for female genital mutilation (FGM).
Amina Noor, 39, is the first person to be convicted of assisting a non-UK person to perform FGM.
Noor, from Harrow in north-west London, took the child to a private house for the procedure in 2006.
She had told the Old Bailey the mutilation is done for cultural reasons and was a procedure she herself had undergone as a child.
Noor, who was born in Somalia but has British citizenship, will be sentenced on 20 December.
