London - Arab Today
A British delivery driver was sentenced Friday to at least 12 years in prison for a Daesh-inspired plot to attack American military personnel in England, ABC News reported.
A judge said Junead Khan was a "committed supporter" of Daesh and planned to kill air force personnel using a knife and potentially a bomb.
The 25-year-old's work for a pharmaceutical firm took him past US air bases in eastern England, and prosecutors said he discussed ways of targeting them with a Daesh militant in Syria.
The pair discussed faking a road accident and then attacking military personnel in imitation of the murder of Lee Rigby. Rigby was a British soldier who was run down by a car and stabbed to death by two al-Qaida-inspired attackers in 2013.
