The name "Lyrical Terrorist" is Samina Malik's on-line handle, which she used to post poems on extremist websites.
Later she turned to poetry inspired by the rap of 50 Cent and Tupac Shakur, writing under the name "Lyrical Babe".
Although her defence counsel has compared her poems to the British poet Wilfred Owen, Malik herself has called her poetry "meaningless".
The documents in question include books on techniques of terrorism, firearms and heavy weapons, poisons, and hand-to-hand combat.
In several poems, Malik expresses her admiration for the Mujahideen, her desire to be a martyr, her approval of beheadings, and her contempt for non-Muslims (whom she refers to as "kuffars").
