A "dangerous" 15-year-old boy from Blackburn has been sentenced to life with a minimum term of five years for orchestrating a "chilling" plot to attack Anzac Day celebrations in Australia.
The boy, who plotted the attack when he was 14, wanted police officers to be beheaded at a parade in Melbourne in April. He pleaded guilty to inciting terrorism overseas in July - making him Britain's youngest terrorist.
The family of a 15-year-old sentenced to life for plotting to behead police officers in Australia have said they were "shocked and devastated" by his arrest.
A statement, read by a lawyer on behalf of the family, said they had been "completely unaware of his activities" and are relieved that no-one was injured.
