(ITV) A “dangerous” man who was found to have a “colossal” amount of extremist propaganda on his computer and phone has been jailed for terrorism offences.
Counter-terrorism police believe the material owned by Wissam Tariq Mahmoud Ziad, which supported extremist group Daesh (ISIS), was “capable of encouraging terrorism.”
Officer[s] say Ziad, of Central Avenue, Levenshulme, positioned himself as a “religious authority” and encouraged support for terrorist organisations.
Counter-terrorism police became aware of Ziad after one of his acquaintances was stopped at Stansted airport in September 2019.
Islamic extremist material was found in a group chat on his phone, named Roma Pizza, which Ziad set up. Some of the conversations included views about Daesh.
