(about 1 hour later)
Two men have pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to charges of encouraging terrorism and disseminating terrorist material. Two men, including a friend of one of the killers of Fusilier Lee Rigby, have pleaded guilty to charges of encouraging terrorism and disseminating terrorist material.
Ibrahim Hassan, also known as Abu Nusaybah, was a friend of one of the men who killed Fusilier Lee Rigby. Ibrahim Hassan, 28, also known as Abu Nusaybah, was arrested after speaking to the BBC's Newsnight in May 2013.
Hassan was arrested after speaking to the BBC's Newsnight in May 2013. Hassan was charged along with Shah Hussain, 31.
He was charged, along with his co-defendant Shah Hussain, under the 2006 Terrorism Act. They will be sentenced on 2 May. After pleading guilty in a hearing at the Old Bailey, the pair will be sentenced on 2 May.
Hassan, of Carr Road, Walthamstow and Hussain, of Cannon Street Road, Whitechapel, were remanded in custody.
While appearing on Newsnight Hassan claimed one of Fusilier Rigby's killers, Michael Adebolajo, had been offered a job by MI5.
'Time of reflection'
The judge Nicholas Hilliard QC ordered reports be prepared on both defendants to assess their attitude to the offences and their risk of reoffending.
He warned them they faced jail for the offence of encouraging terrorism.
Hassan's lawyer Mozammel Hossain told the court his client had already been in custody for eight months and it had been "a time of reflection".
But prosecutor Riel Karmy-Jones told the court that a previous conviction was an aggravating factor in the case.
He said the pair made speeches at a mosque in Regent's Park in 2004, leading to Hassan being convicted of inciting terrorism and Hussain of fund-raising for terrorism abroad.
Michael Adebolajo, 29, was found guilty of murdering Fusilier Rigby outside Woolwich Barracks last May and is currently serving a whole-life sentence.
Michael Adebowale, 22, is serving a life sentence for the murder, with a minimum term of 45 years.
