A Muslim convert who became the UK's first woman to plot a suicide bomb attack told an undercover officer she wanted to 'blow St Paul's Cathedral to the ground' and 'shoot' visitors, a court has heard. Ms Morgan said: 'She engaged with others, who she believed to be of a similar mindset, to instigate and plan a terrorist attack involving the use of improvised explosives to attack St Paul's Cathedral and a hotel nearby. Shaikh said she wanted to target St Paul's Cathedral and 'run and kill kuffar (non-Muslims) everywhere I see them until am shot down''But if that not possible I do other way. In September last year, she revealed her plan to stay in a hotel near St Paul's then check out the cathedral and 'take photos like a tourist'. Then, on October 13, the female undercover officer cancelled a second meeting and police forced their way into Shaikh's flat to arrest her.
