The terror plot friend of London Bridge killer Usman Khan has been pictured walking free from prison sparking renewed outrage.
Mohammed Shahjahan, now 34, was jailed with Khan over a planned bomb spree in 2012 but was released halfway through his sentence thanks to a legal loophole.
In a picture seen by the Mirror Online, Shahjahan was walking head down with a cap obscuring his face as he carried a bin liner full of rubbish.
Woolwich Crown Court heard he was referred to as “ameer” or leader, and that he was pivotal in recruiting for extremism.
The pair had targeted Boris Johnson , Big Ben and the Stock Exchange, but were both automatically freed on licence in December 2018, with Khan, 28, going on to murder two last month before being shot dead by police.
With numerous calls for assurances that others will remain in prison, Home Secretary Priti Patel has said such loopholes "must end".
She said: “The release of dangerous terrorists after serving half their sentence must end and a majority Conservative government will ensure that these offences are punished.”
Shahjahan, from Burslem, Stoke, is living in Staffordshire, near where he helped hatch the terror plot, reports The Sun Online.
A source said: “Everyone thinks he should have served longer and London Bridge shows it. It’s not right a terrorist leader should be out less than seven years after being sentenced.”
Tory MP Nigel Evans added: “I look forward to early legislation which means convicted terrorists will be locked up with no early release at all.”
Nine jihadists from terror cells in Stoke, Cardiff and London were jailed in 2012 for the plot to bomb numerous targets, including the then-Mayor of London.
A judge said Shahjahan, Khan and key collaborator Nazam Hussain were of “such a significant risk” the public could not be “adequately protected by their being managed on licence in the community”.
Regardless, their initial indeterminate jail terms were overturned in 2015 by the Court of Appeal, paving the way for their release.
Hussain, now 34, was also freed recently but was recalled to jail for breaching his licence 48 hours after Khan’s attack on November 29.
Khan killed Cambridge University graduates Saskia Jones, 23, and Jack Merritt, 25, while three others were injured during a prisoner rehabilitation event at Fishmongers' Hall near London Bridge.
He was restrained by reformed prisoner John Crilly, amongst others, and shot dead by police.
