Man jailed for urging Blair and Brown assassinations

Summary

A man who was looking for help to plan a assassination on Tony Blair and Gordon Brown is jailed for five years. Ishaq Kanmi who is 24 years old wrote on a Jihad website that Blair and Brown where going to be assassinated if they did not listen to his demands. Kanmi said on the Jihad forum that he was the leader of al Qaida in Britain, after some investigation from the police they found out that he has no connection with al Qaida by any means. He pleaded guilty in an early state of the process.

My opinion

I think that the punishment he got was not the right one. I think if you threat to kill someone and also ask others to do this you should get a higher punishment. Besides only getting time in jail I also think he should get some mental help because he clearly is going to keep on going with these activities after he get out of jail.
