THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Death plot by Ashraf Islam, who said he had a 'moral right to judge' Prince Harry, described as 'vague and unlikely to succeed' by judge
A convicted criminal who plotted to kill Prince Harry has been jailed for three years.
Ashraf Islam, 31, said he had a ''moral right to judge'' the royal because he disagreed with the work of the British Armed Forces, of which Prince Harry is a member.
The judge at Isleworth Crown Court in London described Islam's plot as ''vague and unlikely to succeed'', but said he presented a risk to the public.
Islam, of no fixed address but who had been living in west London, pleaded guilty to making a threat to kill Prince Harry, at Uxbridge Magistrates Court in May last year.
He had earlier handed himself in to police and volunteered the information about the plot, defence counsel Roxanne Morrell said. » | Agencies | Edited by Andrew Marszal | Monday, February 10, 2014
