UK: Muslim who plotted to behead a cop when he was 14 set for release, is granted lifelong anonymity

You’d get no hint of it from this Mirror article, unless you are aware enough to know that beheading is practiced almost exclusively by Islamic terrorists, but this young man is indeed a jihadi. The Guardian reported in 2018 that he had “previously been radicalised by online Islamic State propaganda.” How do British authorities think they can defeat the jihad without even daring to call it what it is? Or by coddling and protecting those who are waging war against Britain, Australia, and the rest of the non-Muslim world?
“UK’s youngest terrorist who plotted to behead police officer could be free in weeks,” by Tom Pettifor, Mirror, January 1, 2021:
Britain’s youngest terrorist could be cleared for release in weeks after being granted lifelong anonymity.
The inmate, who plotted to behead a police officer when he was 14, completed his minimum sentence three months ago.
A parole board hearing next week is expected to hear the 20-year-old is “highly likely” to comply with license conditions.
Known as RXG, he is one of only a handful of child criminals – including toddler James Bulger’s killers Jon Venables and Robert Thompson – to be granted a protected identity for life.
Forensic Psychologist Dr Louise Bowers said in a 2018 assessment: “RXG appears to have left his ‘terrorist -identity’ behind and he is well on the way to -developing a new stable and pro-social identity.”
The man, from Blackburn, Lancs, was jailed for life with a minimum of five years at Manchester crown court in 2015 after admitting inciting terrorism overseas.
He used a phone app in a bid to persuade 18-year-old Sevdet Besim to commit mass murder and behead a policeman in Melbourne, Australia.
The pair would “in all probability” have succeeded had British police not found the messages and alerted Australian officers, the court heard.
If freed, the man, said to have “high functioning autism”, will be closely monitored and face an internet ban.
Dame Victoria Sharp granted him lifelong anonymity last year, ruling identifying him would “fundamentally undermine” his rehabilitation…. |
