“Safiyya Amira Shaikh, 36, was snared by undercover officers last year as she planned to plant two explosive devices in central London, one at the historic cathedral and one at a nearby hotel. At a brief hearing at the Old Bailey, Shaikh, from Hayes, Middlesex, pleaded guilty to preparation of terrorist acts and dissemination of terrorist publications on Telegram.
Shaikh travelled to central London and stayed at a hotel as part of her reconnaissance. She scoped out St Paul’s security and looked for the ‘best place’ to plant a second explosive device, the court heard.
She also prepared the words of a pledge of allegiance to ISIS.
The British defendant was born Michelle Ramsden to a non-Muslim family and converted to Islam in 2007.
She also stated: ‘I always knows (sic) I wanted to do something big….killing one kafir (infidel) is not enough for me.’”
