Teen Who Plotted to Bomb Elton John Concert Jailed for Life
By Elliot Friedland Tuesday, July 4, 2017
A West London teen has been sentenced to life imprisonment for a plot to carry out a terrorist attack to mark the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Haroon Syed, 19, pleaded guilty to plotting to carry out the attack between April and September 2016. He will serve a minimum of 16 years and six months.
Syed was caught after he discussed his plans over social media with a man whom he believed was a fellow jihadi named Abu Yusuf, but who was actually an undercover intelligence officer working for the British spy agency MI5.
