A Kuwaiti national, Abdullah Albadri, 34, has been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 20 years for planning a terrorist attack against the Israeli Embassy in London. Albadri attempted to breach the embassy's perimeter in west London in April 2025, armed with two knives. He was apprehended by armed police guarding the site. Prosecutors stated that Albadri's motive was retaliation for Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip. Evidence presented during his trial revealed that he had researched the embassy's location and carried a note expressing his desire to die as a "martyr." In May, a jury at London's Old Bailey court found him guilty of preparing an act of terrorism and possessing two bladed weapons. The life sentence, with a 20-year minimum term, was specifically for the terrorism offense.
