Man guilty of IS-inspired knife plan

A man has been convicted of preparing to carry out a knife attack in London, inspired by so-called Islamic State.

Nadir Syed, 22, from Southall in west London, was arrested hours after buying a chef's knife in November 2014, days before Remembrance Sunday.
Woolwich Crown Court heard how he had been inspired by IS leaders urging attacks on Western targets, including police and soldiers.
The jury could not reach verdicts on two other men on trial.
Haseeb Hamayoon, 29, from Hayes, west London and Yousaf Syed, 20, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, denied planning acts of terrorism. They will be retried.
The jury returned a majority verdict on Syed after more than 50 hours' deliberation.
The court heard how he had expressed admiration for the killers of soldier Lee Rigby and how he shared violent footage of beheadings from Syria and Iraq on social media.
Some of his conversations were made on encrypted applications, the jury was told.
Syed had also tried to travel to Syria to fight with IS militants but had been stopped from leaving the country in January 2014, the court heard.
