(BBC) A man who downloaded terrorism material and recorded himself pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group has been jailed.
Salim Youssoufi, 26, from Small Heath, Birmingham, had claimed he downloaded the documents “out of curiosity.”
The Italian national was convicted of four counts of possessing information likely to be useful for committing or preparing a terrorist act.
He was sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court to four years.
Three of those years will be spent in custody with the final year on extended license.
