Muslim convert JAILED for 15 years for plotting ‘spectacular’ Oxford Street terror attack

Lewis Ludlow, nicknamed “The Eagle”, has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years for planning the horror attack. He was sentenced today at the Old Bailey. He had planned to kill 100 shoppers and said ISIS instructed him to commit the act.

The court heard the 27-year-old from Rochester, Kent, targeted Oxford Street to make the British people “pay in their blood”.

Judge Nicholas Hilliard QC said he was satisfied that Ludlow was “engaged in preparations to launch a spectacular multi victim attack”.

He added: ”Multiple deaths were risked and very likely to be caused.”

Ludlow pleaded guilty to preparing acts of terrorism at a hearing in August.
