(BBC) A teenage Islamic extremist has pleaded guilty to planning a terrorist gun attack.
Muhammad Billal, 18, was arrested on 11 February and charged with two counts of preparation of terrorist acts, relating to an alleged gun attack plan and travelling to Somalia.
The defendant, from Nelson in Lancashire, was also charged with four counts of collecting information likely to be of use to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism relating to possession of issues of an Islamic State group online propaganda magazine, between last April and August.
Billal, who was not represented by a lawyer, admitted all the charges against him during a hearing at the Old Bailey.
