(ITV) A teenager found with “viable bomb-making instructions” has been jailed for nearly four years.
Mohammed Afzal, 18, posted extremist material that was deemed to “encourage terrorism,” Liverpool Crown Court heard.
He also collected terrorist information, including directions on how to make a bomb.
Afzal, from Preston, was jailed for three years and nine months after pleading guilty to four offences relating to the spreading of terrorist content, and four offences relating to collecting terrorist information.
Officers first became aware of Afzal, and began investigating his online activities, after he started posting extremist-related material on social media.
