(BBC) A former chicken shop worker has been cleared of planning a drone terrorism attack after a trial at the Old Bailey.
Hisham Muhammad, 26, was accused of having a stash of weapons and devising a contraption with lollipop sticks to drop a projectile from a small drone.
He was arrested in June 2018 after his landlord became suspicious after seeing knives, a tub of wires and a soldering iron at his home in Bury.
He had denied engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism.
His cousin Faisal Abu Ahmad, 25, who lived with him in Victoria Avenue, Whitefield, was cleared of failing to disclose a plot to authorities.
