[b]Woman guilty of terror offences[/b]

A woman who called herself the "Lyrical Terrorist" has been found guilty of keeping terrorist manuals.

Samina Malik, 23, from Southall, west London, is the first woman in the UK to be convicted under the Terrorism Act.

The student was convicted at the Old Bailey of having articles "likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".

Malik was working at WH Smith at Heathrow Airport when she was arrested last October. She denied the charges.

Malik burst into tears in the dock when the verdict was read out.

She was convicted of two offences under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act relating to documents found on her home computer.

There are at least 2,000 people in the UK who pose a threat to national security because of their support for terrorism, the head of MI5 has said.

Jonathan Evans announced the figure - an increase of 400 since November 2006 - in a speech in Manchester.
