(BBC) A man who left USB sticks containing terrorist propaganda inside shoes at six mosques in England has been jailed.
Omar Ashfaq, 24, of St Thomas Road, in Derby, left 17 of the sticks in footwear while Muslim worshipers were praying between May and June last year.
Derbyshire Police said the sticks contained “violent footage and propaganda encouraging terrorism.”
Ashfaq admitted 11 terrorism offences and was given four years and six months in prison at Birmingham Crown Court.
He was also sentenced to one year on licence.
During last year’s Ramadan, the Muslim holy month, he left the sticks at mosques in Derby, Loughborough, Coventry, Birmingham and Luton.
