A TERROR chief who plotted to bomb the London Stock Exchange has lost a freedom bid.

Mohammed Shahjahan, 38, was ruled by a parole board as too dangerous to be released from jail.

He got 17 years in 2012 for the al-Qaeda inspired gun and bomb plot against London’s financial district.

The jihadi, from Stoke-on-Trent, was released in 2019 but recalled to prison for breaching licence conditions.

He pleaded his case for release last month but a prison psychologist ruled Shahjahan had a “tendency to overlook the consequences of his actions”.

Shahjahan had planned the proposed stock exchange outrage with Usman Khan, 28, and Nazam Hussain, 38.

All three admitted engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terror and were jailed.

Khan went on to kill Jack Merritt, 25, and Saskia Jones, 23, at an offender rehabilitation conference at the Fishmongers’ Hall in November 2019 before being shot dead by police on nearby London Bridge.

On denying Shahjahan freedom, Tory MP Nigel Mills said: “This is the right decision.

“We don’t want these monsters walking the streets.”
