(BBC) The identity of a teenager who plotted to behead police officers at an Anzac Day parade in Australia will remain a secret for the rest of his life.
The boy, from Blackburn, Lancashire, sent encrypted messages instructing an Australian jihadist to launch attacks at the remembrance event in Melbourne.
Now 18, he was jailed for life at Manchester Crown Court in 2015 after admitting inciting terrorism overseas.
The High Court ruled identifying him was likely to cause him “serious harm.”
He is believed to be the youngest Briton guilty of a terror offence, and a ban on identifying him made at the time he was sentenced would normally expire on his 18th birthday.
