ISIS Secret Plot For Attacks On Prince George Revealed
May 31 2018, Published 6:40 p.m. ET
The royal family can rest a little easier now, after an ISIS sympathizer pleaded guilty Thursday to encouraging terrorists to attack Britain’s Prince George.
Husnain Rashid, who is from Nelson, England, accepted fault on four counts of preparing terrorist acts and encouraging terrorism, including against the 4-year-old heir to the throne.
Rashid, 32, posted more than 300,000 propaganda messages online last year, including one photo of the young prince, the address of George’s school, a silhouette of a jihadi fighter and the message “Even the royal family will not be left alone.”
He also called on attacks at soccer matches, Wimbledon, and other high profile European events. He suggested a variety of attack methods, including injecting cyanide into fruit and vegetables at grocery stores and poisoning ice cream.
The trial, which had been scheduled to last six weeks, was abruptly ended because of the plea. Sentencing is set for June 28, and the judge said the guilty man could be in for a long stay behind bars.
“For the past week I have listened to the most disturbing allegations … It is inevitable that you will receive a very lengthy prison sentence and there will be a consideration of a life prison sentence,” said Judge Andrew Lees. “The question of your future dangerousness and the protection of the public is a matter that I will have to give very careful consideration.”
