A teenager from Norway is heading to prison for a long time. A court gave the teen a 20-year sentence for planning a murder in the United Kingdom.
Authorities say this wasn't a random act. The plan was tied to an organized crime group that has links to Iran.
The plot was uncovered before any harm could be done. Because of the seriousness of the crime, the court decided on a very long prison term, even though the person involved is still young.
This case has grabbed attention because of the international connection to an Iranian gang. It highlights how criminal groups can recruit people from other countries to carry out dangerous work.
