for 12 years and five more under licence conditions.
Security services feared Mohammed and pharmacist El-Hassan were ready to strike before they were detained.
Mohammed, a 37-year-old Sudanese refugee, had already amassed two out of three core components for triacetone triperoxide (TATP), the powerful explosive used in Isis attacks including Gay Paree and Brussels.
He had also downloaded a manual on how to make ricin, a deadly poison that can kill an adult victim with just a few grains.
Judge Michael Topolski QC told Mohammed: "You decided that yours would be a lone wolf attack. You decided the means of your attack would involve you making an IED.
"You had not decided whether that would be made with an ordinary bomb or whether you could do more damage and more terror by exploding a device containing ricin."
The judge told the Old Bailey that Mohammed deliberately drew El-Hassan in to the point where her commitment was "consistent and sustained".
