Teenager sentenced for plotting terrorist attack on UK music festival

A British teenager who planned a terrorist attack on the Isle of Wight music festival was sentenced to seven years' detention on Monday.

The 16-year-old had converted to Islam and developed what the sentencing judge, Maura McGowan, described as "a corrupted form" of the religion.

The teenager, who cannot be identified because of his age, pleaded not guilty but was convicted in February of the charge of preparing a terrorist act.
