The youngest person convicted of a terrorism offence in the UK - who plotted to murder police in Australia on Anzac Day aged 14 - can be freed from jail, the Parole Board has ruled.
The 20-year-old, from Blackburn, who can only be identified as RXG, sent encrypted messages inciting an Australian to launch attacks in 2015.
He was jailed for life that year after admitting inciting terrorism overseas.
But the Parole Board now says it is satisfied he is suitable for release.
