(BBC) A Muslim convert who researched military locations and threatened to “flatten” a Birmingham mosque in a terror attack has been jailed for life.
Jason Savage, from Small Heath, Birmingham, was found guilty in January of engaging in conduct in preparation for terrorist acts, having plotted to stab an Islamic cleric who was an outspoken critic of terrorism.
At Birmingham Crown Court on Friday, Judge Mrs Justice Farbey told Savage she was sure he had been actively planning a “lone wolf attack” inspired by the self-styled Islamic State (IS) group.
He was told he would serve a minimum term of 16 years.
