Watford man guilty of trying to buy explosives on dark web

(BBC) A man has been found guilty of trying to buy grenades and Semtex explosive from an undercover FBI agent on the dark web.

Mohammed Humza, 29, of Watford, failed to turn up for his trial at the Old Bailey on Monday and was suspected of travelling to Kashmir in Pakistan.

The trial went ahead in his absence and the jury reached a guilty verdict by a majority of 11 to one.

Mrs Justice McGowan said Humza’s current whereabouts was a “mystery.”

She said: “He may have left the country. On the other hand, he may be saying he has left the country in order to deter police from trying to find him.”
