Al-Qaeda terrorist could be released by Christmas - while second jihadi could be freed in just weeks

Terrorist Kamel Bourgass had also been convicted of stabbing a police officer to death.

He first entered Britain in 2000.

Delivering the news live on air, GB News star Patrick Christys reported: "He plotted a mass poisoning that could have indiscriminately killed as many men, women and children as possible.

"He planned to spread ricin, the poison, around London. He even wanted to smear it on people's car door handles.

"Kamel Bourgass was jailed initially for 17 years in 2005 for that plot, but in 2003 he was actually jailed for life with a minimum of 23 years for murdering Detective Constable Stephen Oake."

The murdered detective was conducting a raid on the house in Crumpsall, Manchester, which is where the synagogue attack took place last week.

"Remarkable, isn't it? What? A massive, massive act of national self-harm," Patrick fumed.

He further revealed that Anderson, 44, of Luton, who was jailed for "drumming up support for Islamic State as well as disseminating Isis execution videos", is due to be released in the coming weeks.

"He actually told an undercover police officer that he wanted London to be under the Islamic State flag," Patrick added.

"Parole officials said this: 'Mr Anderson had undertaken an accredited program to address extremist offending and ways of disengaging.

"Mr Anderson engaged well with this and completed all the required work to a good standard.

"The panel was told that all necessary work in a prison environment had been undertaken, and Mr Anderson had also been working with an Imam to help him better understand his faith.

"Two witnesses supported Mr Anderson's release."

"A third witness supported the release with a degree of caution.

"In this case, protective factors which would reduce the risk of reoffending were considered to be the support Mr Anderson has from professionals and from his family.

"He's been seen to be motivated to do well in the future, and to work openly with those involved in the case.'"

Previously, Anderson was thrown behind bars after pleading guilty to 10 counts of disseminating terrorist publications, as well as admitting four charges of possession of terrorist publications.

Judge Philip Katz QC described the footage as "the worst end of the range seen in this court".
