British teenager found guilty of terror plot to behead soldier

A teenager has been found guilty of plotting to behead a British soldier by a jury at the Old Bailey in London.

Brustholm Ziamani, 19, was arrested in East London on August 19 last year, carrying a rucksack with a large knife and hammer wrapped up in an Islamic flag.

During the trial, prosecutors said Ziamani told a security office at Wandsworth Prison he was “on his way to kill a British soldier at an army barracks” when he was detained.

He reportedly said he intended to behead a soldier and then pose for a photograph holding the severed head, in imitation of similar images posted online by Islamic State fighters.

He will be sentenced on March 20 .... http://rt.com/uk
