(BBC) A would-be terrorist who tried to make a bomb to be used in a driverless car attack has been jailed for 15 years.
Farhad Salah, 24, planned the attack to spare his own life while harming “others he considered to be infidels,” a court heard.
In messages sent before his arrest, Salah called his plot a “martyrdom operation with cars without driver.”
He was found guilty of preparing to commit acts of terrorism after a trial at Sheffield Crown Court.
Jurors heard Salah, a supporter of the Islamic State group (IS), had been testing small improvised explosive devices in preparation for an attack at the time of his arrest.
