Terror trial suspect ‘curious’ about bomb video

(BBC) A terror trial suspect accused of having an instructional bomb-making video claimed he skipped over parts of the film and “didn’t really think anything of it.”

Adam Mahmood told Birmingham Crown Court he asked for the video to be sent to him by another social media user via the Telegram app in October 2023.

The 20-year-old said he did not understand what was going on in the video but was “intrigued and curious” about it.
