A wannabe suicide bomber who plotted to blow up a Heathrow passenger plane in an 9/11-style atrocity could soon be released despite receiving a life sentence.
Adam Khatib, 39, from Walthamstow in east London, plotted with other Al Qaeda sympathisers to use liquid explosives hidden in bottles of Lucozade and Oasis to slaughter hundreds of passengers flying to the US or Canada in 2006.
The uncovering of the plot that year sparked the biggest crackdown on aviation security in history and changed the way travellers board flights around the world.
Restrictions on taking volumes of more than 100ml on most flights - less than a third of a canned drink - are the enduring legacy of Khatib's murderous plot.
The fanatic - who while still at school in east London styled himself as 'Adam Osama Bin Laden' - was told he must serve a minimum of 18 years after being convicted of conspiracy to murder.
