A jihadi who planned to kill Brits after travelling to Syria to join a terrorist group with links to Al-Qaeda is to be released from prison four-and-a-half years early - returning to Britain's streets. A parole board has ruled Sarwar will be released next month after serving eight years of his 12-year-8-month sentence. Chris Phillips, former National Counter Terrorism Security Office chief, told The Sun: 'What type of system puts the public at risk like this? Khan was released on licence after served six years of his 16-year sentence for terror offences before carrying out the attack. David Merritt said: 'Roles and responsibilities were unclear, communication between the agencies was inadequate and leadership and co-ordination were weak.'
