| Two British students given life sentences for 'drive-by' plot | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Two British students have been jailed for life for plotting to kill police or soldiers in a shooting inspired by so-called Islamic State. | |
| Tarik Hassane, 22, of west London, will serve a minimum of 21 years after admitting conspiracy to murder and preparation of acts of terrorism. | |
| Suhaib Majeed, 22, of west London, was convicted of the same charges and will serve a minimum of 20 years. | |
| Two other men who provided a gun were also imprisoned for firearms offences. | |
| Nyall Hamlett, 25, and Nathan Cuffy, 26, had admitted their role in handing over a gun to Majeed and Hassane, but denied knowing what it was going to be used for. | |
| Hamlett was today jailed for six-and-a-half years and Cuffy for 11 years. They were cleared of conspiracy to murder and preparing terrorist acts. | |
| 'Bloodthirsty' | |
| During the sentencing at the Old Bailey, Mr Justice Wilkie said it was "shocking, tragic and deplorable" that Hassane and Majeed, "educated through the UK school system, undertaking university courses, should be so influenced by the bloodthirsty version of Islam presented by IS". |
