Background
Main article: 2066 London Attacks

The firefight between the Shadowblade and the Globe Syndicate in Canary Wharf was decried as the worst terrorist attack in London’s recent memories, surpassing casualties of the Irish Republican Army's (IRA) own terrorist attack in 1996. Initial accusations were on Eastern European crime syndicates and the IRA, but later evidence found that Grand Magistrix Belatha Dawnsinger was part of the firefight gone wrong. Attempting to return to her Azeroth got her ambushed and abducted by pirates. By the end of the year, she was rescued but lengths of mental torture put her in a coma.

As she was recovering, extradition was forced by London to face justice for her crimes. The Quel'thalas government was forced to comply with the order.

Trial
The trial lasted only a day.

Sentence
With the plea deal, the former Grand Magistrix was sentenced to 120 years in prison at the Guard. To continue her rehabilitation, the term has been set to start 1st April.

Akira Satou was knighted a Dame of the British Empire.
