A student who tried to stab an MP to death after being radicalised online is set to be freed from jail after serving just 15 years.
Roshonara Choudhry was just 21 when she was jailed for life at the Old Bailey in 2010 for trying to murder Labour MP Stephen Timms because he voted in favour of the Iraq War.
She attacked Mr Timms with a three-inch kitchen knife at a constituency surgery in Newham, east London, on May 14, 2010, after being radicalised as a university student to 'get revenge for the people of Iraq'.
The married politician, 55 at the time of the attack, was stabbed twice in the stomach - suffering wound lacerations to the left lobe of his liver - but survived after surgery.
Choudhry, of East Ham, London, was found guilty of attempted murder and jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years. A previous parole hearing had recommended she be moved to an open prison, but this was rejected by the Justice Secretary.
