Teenage neo-Nazi detained for terror attack plan
The youngest person to be convicted of planning a terror attack in the UK has been detained for more than six years.
The now 17-year-old wrote about an "inevitable race war" in his diary and listed locations from his home city of Durham in a "guerrilla warfare" manual.
A jury had found the boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, guilty of preparation of terrorist acts between October 2017 and March 2018.
He was sentenced to six years and eight months at Manchester Crown Court.
Judge David Stockdale QC told the boy: "These are offences of the utmost seriousness."
I wonder if this youth will benefit from 6 years inside. Its good that he is off the streets but I suspect that 6 years in jail will see him harden in his polluted views.
