The Metropolitan Police force says 21-year-old Rizlaine Boular and two other women - one of them her mother - were charged Wednesday with preparing terrorist acts and conspiracy to murder. Several other people arrested in the same operation, including women ages 18 and 19 and a 16-year-old boy, have been released without charges. British officials have set the threat level from international terrorism at "severe," indicating an attack is highly likely.
