Mohammed Awan was arrested by anti-terror police in June after purchasing 500 ball bearings online. | |
During raids on his family home in Rudding Street, Huddersfield, and a flat in Dun Street, Sheffield, officers recovered a "significant volume" of extremist material, including advice on how to be a "sleeper cell" in the West. | |
Police also seized 11 mobile phones, 16 USB memory sticks and seven computers. | |
One memory stick contained a 36-minute video of a senior al Qaida leader calling on young Muslims to join so-called Islamic State (IS) and featured graphic footage of how to kill and kidnap victims. | |
On a mobile phone, officers found images of the Boston Marathon bombing and a man wearing an orange jumpsuit about to be executed. | |
During his trial, jurors heard Awan's brother Rizwan had travelled from Manchester to Istanbul on 17 May, 2015 where he appeared to have joined IS. |
