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.
