Teen: 10-year sentene for mass murder plan on mosque

A teenager who planned to carry out mass murder in a terror attack at a mosque in Greenock sentenced to 10 years in custody.

The 17-year-old arrested in January after police caught him with an airgun and aerosol cans outside Inverclyde Muslim Centre.

The boy, who cannot be named because of his age, had planned to set fire to the building, killing any worshippers inside.

Sentencing the teenager at the High Court in Glasgow, judge Lord Arthurson said he had planned a “quite diabolical atrocity”.

The judge also ordered that the teenager should serve an eight-year supervision period after release.
