Britain's youngest terrorist's identity to remain secret

Lifelong anonymity for Blackburn teenager who plotted to murder Australian police officers

The identity of Britain's youngest terrorist, who plotted to murder police officers in Australia, will remain a secret for the rest of his life following a high court ruling.

The teenager, from Blackburn, Lancashire, who can be identified only as RXG, sent encrypted messages when he was 14 instructing an Australian jihadist to launch attacks during a 2015 Anzac Day parade. Now 18, he was jailed for life at Manchester crown court in October 2015 after he admitted inciting terrorism overseas.
