Teen jailed for life after plotting terror attack inspired by ISIS propaganda

Matthew King, a 19-year-old British man, was sentenced to life in prison for planning to carry out terror attacks on police and military targets.
King became radicalized after watching extremist videos online during the COVID-19 lockdown last year.
King's mother reported him to a counter-terrorism program, leading to his arrest before he could carry out an attack.
Police found evidence King had surveilled targets, tried to acquire weapons, and possessed ISIS propaganda.
The judge praised King's mother and said she did the right thing in reporting her son's terrorist intentions to authorities.
