Man jailed for life over failed knife attack at Israeli embassy in London

Abdullah Albadri, a 34-year-old failed Kuwaiti asylum seeker, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by a London court with a minimum term of 20 years. The sentencing follows his conviction in May for preparing a terrorist act after attempting to break into the Israeli embassy in London last year to carry out a knife attack.

Albadri had arrived in the United Kingdom on a small boat just 16 days prior to the attack. Following the trial and subsequent jury verdict, the judge handed down the life sentence, mandating that Albadri serve at least two decades behind bars before becoming eligible for parole.
