Was she a Spy, no mention in the article, just title:
'Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb found it was a "politically motivated attack" driven by "anger and resentment" towards GCHQ and women. The senior judge sentenced Bowles at the Old Bailey to life with a minimum term of 13 years.
Prosecutor Duncan Penny KC said it was a "pre-meditated, targeted and vicious attack on an unarmed woman". He told the court: "That woman was a United States government employee working in the United Kingdom. She was attacked by a man who was carrying two knives and she was stabbed three times outside, and in the reception area of, a leisure centre in Cheltenham.'
Bowles, 'the ex-computer software coding developer said he had targeted her because he could not handle the "murky waters of ethics" and "the power that the American NSA have and the things they do", adding: "I make a pretty s*** terrorist, don't I?"
The court heard that the 29-year-old defendant had planned the attack and searched the internet for topics including American Unabomber terrorist Theodore Kaczynski, attacks on women, and white supremacy. Bowles, of Welwyn Mews, Cheltenham, pleaded guilty to the attempted murder of the woman, referred to by the code number 99230, and assaulting a man who attempted to intervene, causing him actual bodily harm.'

Read the article or do a search then. Title is a bit clickbait.
