A woman who had plotted a suicide bomb attack on London's St Paul's Cathedral this Easter in support of Islamic State is jailed for life and told she must serve at least 14 years behind bars.
A woman who had plotted an Easter suicide bomb attack on London's St Paul's Cathedral in support of Islamic State has been jailed for life and told she must serve at least 14 years behind bars.
She pleaded guilty to terrorism offences in February and was jailed on Friday at the Old Bailey court. "The damning evidence presented by the CPS of her planned suicide mission to St Paul's Cathedral left her with no room to talk her way out of the charges." Shaikh, a Muslim convert from west London, had scoped out security at the church and was then secretly filmed in a park handing the "wife" two bags that were to be returned to her at a later date with two working bombs.
