Foiled Islamic terror plot to attack little Prince George at his school
A terror suspect has been accused of urging ISIS fanatics to attack Prince George at his school.
Husnain Rashid, 31, allegedly sent a disturbing post on encrypted instant messaging app Telegram showing the silhouette of a jihadi next to the four-year-old royal tot.
The image allegedly included the address of Prince George’s school, Thomas’s Battersea, in south London, saying: “Even the royal family will not be left alone.”
Describing one of the messages Rashid was charged for sending, prosecutor Rebecca Mundy said: “There was a photo of the young Prince George at the beginning of the school term next to a silhouette of an Isis fighter.”
Prosecutors at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday also alleged that he planned to travel to Syria to join the depraved terror group ISIS.
He sent other posts which allegedly could help others identify UK targets such as stadiums.
Rashid, who appeared in the dock wearing a grey tracksuit and glasses, spoke only to confirm his name and address.
He is charged with one count of preparing acts of terrorism and one count of assisting others to prepare acts of terrorism.
The British national, of Leonard Street, Nelson, was arrested on Wednesday November 22 by officers from Lancashire Police and Counter Terrorism Policing.
He was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey on December 20.
