Hitler-inspired boy planned terror attack at mosque, and pretended to convert to Islam to gain access

The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, previously pleaded guilty under the terrorism act at the High Court in Glasgow.

The leader of a mosque where a Hitler-inspired teenager was plotting a massacre has told Sky News of the moment the boy pretended to convert to Islam to gain access, weeks before a terror attack which police prevented.

The boy, who was 16 years old at the time, idolised the Norwegian mass murderer Anders Breivik and was caught by detectives as he made his way to burn down the Inverclyde Muslim Centre in Greenock in January.
