A jihadist who plotted gun, knife and van massacres at busy London tourist hotspots has been jailed for life for terror offences.
Former Uber driver Mohiussunnath Chowdhury was driven by “dreams of martyrdom” in his plans to attack targets such as Madame Tussauds, the gay Pride parade and an open-top sightseeing bus last year.
The 28-year-old chicken shop worker's conviction in February came a year after he was cleared of a sword attack on police outside Buckingham Palace.
Preparing for his atrocity, he lifted weights, practised stabbing and rehearsed beheading techniques as well as booking shooting range training and trying to acquire a real gun, his trial at Woolwich Crown Court heard.
