(BBC) A man who planned a gun attack at central London’s Hyde Park has been jailed for at least 16 years.
Edward Little, 22, had intended to kill Christian preacher Hatun Tash after travelling from Brighton to the capital on 23 September last year.
He travelled by taxi with £5,000 to buy a firearm and bullets in south London when he was stopped by police and arrested.
In May, Muslim convert Little admitted preparing to commit acts of terrorism.
He was sentenced in his absence after he refused to attend Friday’s Old Bailey hearing.
