Cardiff teen Syed Choudhury pleads guilty to terror charges at Old Bailey faces jail sentence.

A Cardiff man who planned to travel to Syria to fight with Islamic State has pleaded guilty to a terror charge at the Old Bailey.
Syed Choudhury, 19, from the Grangetown area of the city, was arrested last December.
He had come to the attention of anti-terrorism officers in July when he displayed a banner at a demonstration on the Gaza conflict in Cardiff stating: "Islamic State will bring peace to the Middle East".
The teenager was standing next to known Islamic fundamentalist and Royal Mail worker Sajid Idris, 31, who was arrested in the same dawn raids and has links to Cardiff-born Islamic State fighters in Syria.
The court heard he fell under the influence of "older men who he regarded as more learned than him" after he left home in Bradford to go to college in Cardiff.
