Manchester Arena bomb survivor slams parole bid

- ISAAC CROWSON

A SURVIVOR of the Manchester Arena terror atrocity is leading calls for a dangerous jihadi to be kept behind bars.

Parviz Khan, who plotted to behead a British Muslim soldier, is bidding for parole and could be out within weeks after serving a 14-year minimum term.

Jade Clough who was seriously injured in the 2017 suicide bombing, which killed 22 people said: "The thought Khan could be freed is horrific.

"If this man is released, those responsible will have blood on their hands. He's a monster."

Khan, 53, led a Birmingham-based terror cell that plotted to kidnap the soldier while he was on leave and film his beheading in a garage.

Sentencing him in 2008, Mr Justice Henriques told Khan it was "impossible to predict when, if ever, it will be safe for you to be released into the public".

SICKENING 

Jade, 34, urged the Parole Board to keep him inside, adding: "These individuals do not deserve second chances.
