Terrorist Who Planned To Assassinate Theresa May, Jailed For 30 Years

0

An Islamic State terrorist has been jailed for life after plotting to kill the Prime Minister Theresa May. Naa’imur Zakariyah Rahman, 21, planned to bomb the gates of 10 Downing Street, kill guards and then attack Theresa May with a knife or gun. He had pledged allegiance to IS and collected what he thought was an explosives-packed jacket and rucksack when he was arrested last November.

Today he was jailed for life with a minimum term of 30 years at the Old Bailey. The court heard that the drifter, originally from Birmingham, thought he was being helped by an IS handler when in fact he was talking to undercover officers.
