An airport worker who wrote poems about beheadings is the first woman to be found guilty under new terror laws.


Samina Malik, who liked to call herself a "lyrical terrorist", called for attacks on the West and described "poisoned bullets" capable of killing an entire street in her poetry.

The 23-year-old Muslim wrote of her desire to become a martyr and listed her favourite videos as the "beheading ones".

Lyrical terrorist Samina Malik claims she was just a 'fan' of the terrorist music


Described as a "committed Islamic extremist", Malik, a shop assistant at Heathrow, hoarded an extensive collection of terrorism manuals, the Old Bailey heard.

She was a member of an extremist group linked to Omar Bakri Mohammed, a hate preacher who fled to Lebanon from Britain two years ago.

The headline seems misleading; she wasn't convicted for her writings (sample at the link). Still, I'm not sure what to think.
