Man plotted Madame Tussauds attack after 2018 terror acquittal

Mohiussunnath Chowdhury, 28, convicted of planning to strike at London tourist sites

A man acquitted of terrorism in 2018 after he was arrested with a metre-long samurai sword outside Buckingham Palace has been convicted of planning an attack at tourist hotspots in London.

Mohiussunnath Chowdhury, 28, from Luton, was found guilty of terrorism offences on Monday after the jury at Woolwich crown court heard he planned to kill members of the public at busy London locations including Madame Tussauds, the Pride parade and on an open-top tour bus.
