Leaders of a jihadi terror cell who planned an attack to rival 7/7 and transform Birmingham into a ‘little war zone’ could be free to walk the streets in weeks.
In 2013, Ashik Ali and Irfan Khalid received life sentences with a minimum of 18 years served.
However, both have been given hearings before the Parole Board in the upcoming weeks, which means they may be allowed to leave prison.
The pair were leaders of the gang, along with Irfan Naseer, which was smashed by Britain’s biggest-ever anti-terrorism probe.
They intended to use timers to blow up to eight explosives that were concealed in rucksacks.
When undercover police busted the group in September 2011, fearing an impending terrorist strike, the plan was thwarted.
Detectives said it was the most significant to be foiled since a 2006 conspiracy to blow up transatlantic airliners using bombs disguised as soft drinks.
Their trial judge, Mr Justice Henriques, said the plot ‘had the blessing of al-Qaeda’ and with the intention to ‘further the aims of al-Qaeda’.
He told the defendants when sentencing them: ‘You were seeking to recruit a team of somewhere between six and eight suicide bombers to carry out a spectacular bombing campaign, one that would create an anniversary along the lines of 7/7 or 9/11.
‘It’s clear that you were planning a terrorist outrage in Birmingham.’
Ali told police he would have put on a suicide vest and shot troops, while Khalid had boasted that the attack would be “another 9/11.”
Naseer, who is still incarcerated, was identified as the key conspirator at the sentence.
The judge added: ‘Many deaths were planned by a determined team of individuals who were fully radicalised.
‘No lack of assets, skill or manpower was going to stop you.’
Tory MP Nigel Mills has now said: ‘It is a terrifying prospect to think that these two individuals could be freed in the coming weeks.
‘I sincerely hope the Parole Board takes into account the danger they posed and what death and destruction they were planning.’
On the streets of Birmingham, the group pretended to be reputable charity workers and took hundreds of pounds from gullible bystanders.
They collected £12,000 for themselves by posing as street vendors for Muslim Aid, but after losing more than £9,000 of the money they won in currency trading, they had to seek loans totalling tens of thousands of pounds.
Why are they being allowed parole when they were both given minimum sentences of eighteen years? The legal system in our nation is just flawed.
These are insane zealots, and after serving out the entirety of their term, they need to be immediately flown back to their original location.
There are plenty of foolish politicians and leaders who are too preoccupied with padding their salaries and savouring their positions of power to give a damn about the real nations they represent.
Some people should never be permitted to lead countries or stay in the United Kingdom because their sole goal is to harm us. After all, attacking us isn’t a crime in their law.
With their ‘lock them up’ strategy for every little infraction, the Tories have completely failed to handle the prison system. As a result, our prisons are overcrowded, dilapidated, and underfunded, and serve as havens for radicalization.
And why were they even in the United Kingdom in the first place? Because we take all the crap nobody else wants.
THE MONTHLY MOSQUITO 
You say that “ In 2013, Ashik Ali and Irfan Khalid received life sentences with a minimum of 18 years served” but thag is not correct.
