Tredegar terror convict jailed after beheading threats

(BBC) A convicted terror offender has been jailed for 16 months after threatening teenagers with a knife and telling them: “We cut people’s heads off.”

Nathan Saunders, 28, shouted “Allahu akbar” and made Islamic State salutes at the youths on 15 September 2021.

Saunders, of Tredegar, Blaenau Gwent, who was convicted of downloading terror documents in 2017, is believed to have radicalised himself online.

He admitted possession of an offensive weapon at Cardiff Crown Court.

The court heard Saunders was attacked on Sycamore Avenue in Tredegar by a group of young men who punched him twice and called him a “terrorist.”
