Long prison sentence for supporters of British IS

A British supporter of the IS terrorist militia has been sentenced to life imprisonment for a planned attack on the British heir to the throne, Prince George. The 32-year-old man had posted the name and address of George's school in a chat room

He wanted to provide "appropriate targets" for a "lone wolf attack" . Judge Andrew Lees said this in the verdict on Friday

The offender uploaded a picture of the school in October, which the four-year-old son of William and Kate had been dating for several weeks at that time. "Even the royal family is not left alone," he writes in the photo. And: "The school starts earlier."

The news was clear, Lees said: Prince George and other members of the royal family should be identified as potential targets.

"lone wolves" is the term used to designate individual offenders to radicalize themselves on the Internet without having direct contact with extremist organizations such as the IS

The Lancashire man in the north from England, pleaded guilty to instigating an attack on Prince George during the trial. He has also published proposals on which British football stadiums could be attacked by terrorists. After the verdict, he will spend at least 25 years in prison.
