Two former soldiers who fire-bombed a mosque four days after the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby have been sentenced to six years each.
Stuart Harness, 34, and Gavin Humphries, 37, made petrol bombs and threw them at the Grimsby Islamic Cultural Centre.
They accidentally filmed the whole process on CCTV cameras they thought were turned off.
The attack was staged in May as a reprisal for the murder of Fusilier Rigby, who was run over and hacked to death by Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale outside Woolwich Barracks in southeast London.
The pair threw their home-made devices at the main doors of the mosque as terrified worshippers were trapped inside.
Despite being frightened by the flames coming under the door, a worshipper ran out through the blaze and put it out with a fire extinguisher.
Two community support officers who were patrolling in the area because of previous incidents at the mosque chased the pair back to Harness' house where they were arrested.
They pleaded guilty to arson after police found video of the pair making the petrol bombs in the back yard which had been captured by a camera installed by Harness.
He told officers he thought the camera had been turned off when he closed the laptop it was connected to.
Harness and Humphries, both of Dixon Avenue, Grimsby, admitted arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered.
A third man, Daniel Cressey, 25, of New Holland, North Lincolnshire, was found guilty by a jury at Grimsby Crown Court of aiding and abetting Harness and Humphries by driving them to the mosque.
