Ex-soldiers jailed for mosque attack Grimsby mosque attackers jailed for six years
(35 minutes later)
Two ex-soldiers who firebombed a Grimsby mosque after Lee Rigby murder each jailed for 6 years at Hull Crown Court Two ex-soldiers who firebombed a mosque four days after the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby have each been jailed for six years.
More to follow. Gavin Humphries, 37, and Stuart Harness, 33, admitted the attack on the Islamic Cultural Centre in Grimsby.
No-one was hurt in the attack in May, Hull Crown Court heard.
A third man, Daniel Cressey, 25, of New Holland, was found guilty last month of aiding and abetting the pair. He was also jailed for six years.
A three-day trial at Grimsby Crown Court heard Cressey had driven the pair to the mosque in Weelsby Road but did not take part in the attack.
The arson attack took place four days after Fusilier Rigby died outside Woolwich Barracks in London.
Humphries and Harness, both former soldiers of Dixon Avenue, Grimsby, unwittingly recorded themselves making the bombs on cameras set up in Harness's home.
The pair, who both admitted arson over the attack of 26 May, were caught again on CCTV as they carried out the attack on the mosque.
Det Sgt Stewart Watson, from Humberside Police, said: "This was a very serious offence that could have resulted in people inside the mosque being fatally injured, thankfully nobody was inside at the time and only minimal damage was caused to the building."
He added: "These three men took it upon themselves to react to incidents happening elsewhere in the country and retaliated by targeting the Islamic Centre.
"We have very good community relations with community leaders and I hope this now brings some comfort and closure to those people who regularly attend the Islamic Centre and for the local communities in North East Lincolnshire."
