LONDON (Reuters) - A schoolboy, said by prosecutors to be the youngest Briton to be convicted of a terrorism offence, was jailed for two years on Friday for his part in what prosecutors called a worldwide plot to target non-Muslims.
Hammaad Munshi, 18, was found guilty last month of being part of a cell that spread extremist propaganda and provided practical guides on how to make poisons and suicide vests.
Detectives said Munshi, an IT expert who was just 16 when he was arrested at his home in Dewsbury, northern England, as he returned from school, was dedicated to al Qaeda's cause.
He used the Internet to circulate material including technical documents on how to make napalm and homemade explosives, and discussed how to smuggle a sword through airport security.
Al Qaeda propaganda promoting "murder and destruction" was stored on his computer and notes on martyrdom were hidden under his bed, London's Old Bailey court heard.
The teenager, who was convicted of making a record of information likely to be useful in terrorism, was sentenced on Friday to two years in a young offenders' institution.
WHAT THE TRUTH REALLY IS
Eighteen years. The Grim Reaper laughed when he heard this figure. They think that 18 is the youngest! Grim assures us that he personally knows a few 2-year-olds who are ready to lay their lives for Islam and have already joined Jihadi training camps. Why, his five-year-old neighbor once exploded a CNT molotov cocktail right in his front lawn. It took him weeks to get the organs out.
