(NCA NewsWire) A man convicted of plotting to commit terrorist acts — some of which included killing police, attacking government buildings and engaging in “guerrilla warfare” — has had his jail term reduced.
Jibryl Almaouie had pleaded guilty in 2017 to multiple firearms offences and a charge of conspiracy to do acts in preparation for a terrorist act alongside his co-offenders Sulayman Khalid and another teenager.
Almaouie, then 21, was jailed for 18 years and 10 months with a non-parole period of 14 years and two months.
But the NSW Court of Appeal on Friday ruled the sentencing judge erred in his consideration of the plea of guilty, in light of a subsequent 2018 court decision.
Almaouie was resentenced to 16 years and six months, with the appeal judges imposing a parole eligibility date of June 2027.
