The BBC on a trial at the Old Bailey:

A teenage girl plotted a gun and grenade attack at the British Museum after her attempts to become a jihadi bride were thwarted, a court has heard.

Safaa Boular was 17 when she allegedly decided to be a “martyr” after her Islamic State fighter fiancé was killed in Syria, the Old Bailey was told.

It’s an interesting choice, the British Museum. Not Parliament (been done), not anything royal, not the Bank, not some hub of commerce – but a museum of history, art, culture, learning, archaeology. It is of course a product and symbol of Empire along with all that, but you can’t smash that symbol without smashing a lot of human heritage and knowledge. It’s always interesting that Islamists of the IS type are so eager to do that – the Bamiyan Buddhas, the shrines of Timbuktu, countless sites in Iraq, and on and on. Anything that they decide is not about Mohammed or Allah is to be smashed.
