EDL Rally Bomb Plotters Jailed

Each of the six men, who admitted terrorism offences in connection with a plot to bomb an English Defence League rally, have been jailed for up to 19-and-a-half years.

Omar Khan, Jewel Uddin, Mohammed Hasseen, Mohammed Saud, Zohaib Ahmed and Anzal Hussain pleaded guilty in April to a plot to attack an EDL rally in West Yorkshire.

The men were caught by chance when their car was stopped and found to be uninsured.

The planned attacked involved five of the men taking a bomb, sawn-off shotguns and knives to the rally in Dewsbury last June.

However, the men arrived after the EDL rally had finished.
