LONDON: A British teenager who planned a terrorist attack on the Isle of Wight music festival was sentenced to seven years’ detention on Monday.
The 16-year-old had converted to Islam and developed what the sentencing judge, Maura McGowan, described believing it was justified to kill those he felt insulted his faith. The teenager, who cannot be identified because of his age, pleaded not guilty but was convicted in February of the charge of preparing a terrorist act. He was also found guilty of the offences of disseminating terrorist publications and possession of a bladed article after a trial at Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court in London.
Storm warnings for high winds, heavy rain and hail also were issued by the National Weather Service on Sunday
