Both sides report that a Norwegian teenager was sentenced to 20 years in prison for travelling to the UK to carry out a contract killing for an international crime gang linked to Iran. The Guardian adds that he is 19, named Johannes Kongsnes Natland, and was arrested in Huddersfield with two guns and live ammunition. It also says he agreed to shoot an unknown target for €25,000 and is a talented footballer. The Breitbart excerpt gives fewer details and calls the case an attempted Iranian contract killing.
