(BBC) Two brothers have admitted planning a trip to Afghanistan to join a branch of Islamic State (IS).
Muhammad Abdul Haleem Heyder Khan, 21, and Muhammad Hamzah Heyder Khan, 18, from Ward End in Birmingham appeared at the city’s crown court on Monday.
Less than a week into their trial they both pleaded guilty to engaging in conduct in preparation for terrorism.
The pair are due to return to Birmingham Crown Court for sentencing on 11 September.
Opening the crown’s case on 5 July, Harpreet Sandhu KC said the brothers had become “increasingly radicalised” over the course of 2022.
