Muslim convert admits London Oxford Street terror plot to run van over "100 People"


From the BBC:
A man has pleaded guilty to plotting a terror attack on London's Oxford Street and raising money for terrorism. 
Lewis Ludlow, 26, planned to hire a van and hit pedestrians and also targeted Madame Tussauds and St Paul's Cathedral, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said. 
He pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey and is due to be sentenced on 2 November. Ludlow, who also used the name Ali Hussain, had hoped to kill up to 100 people. 
A spokesman for the CPS said he had been under 24-hour armed police surveillance. 
Ludlow, from Rochester, Kent, first came to the attention of police in 2010 when he attended a demonstration led by radical preacher Anjem Choudary and his banned Al-Muhajiroun group. 
When Ludlow was arrested in 2015, Islamic State group material was found on his electronic devices but no further action was taken. 
He had also been in contact with Junaid Hussain, an IS fighter from the UK who was killed in drone strike in 2016, the prosecution said.
