UK couple sentenced to life in jail for terror plot
A British couple have been sentenced to life in jail for planning a major terror attack to mark the 10th anniversary of the deadly London bombings.
A court in London found the couple guilty of preparing an act of terrorism in May this year.
said Mohammed Rehman, 25, used the Twitter name "Silent Bomber" asking other users whether he should bomb a shopping center or the London Underground train network.
The tweet was accompanied by a link to a press release by al-Qaeda about the July 2005 bombings in which four men attacked London's transport system killing at least fifty-two people.
Meanwhile, police seized more than 10 kilograms of urea nitrate, which can be used to manufacture a large bomb, from their house.
Security sources said, If detonated on the London Underground, the bomb they were preparing would have caused multiple fatalities.
According to The Guardian, Rehman was sentenced to life with a minimum of 27 years. He was also sentenced to 12 years to run concurrently for possessing an article for terrorist purposes.
Khan was sentenced to life with a minimum of 25 years.
