Man Guilty Of Planning Poppy Day Terror Attack

Inspired by an Islamic State fatwa, Nadir Syed, 22, planned to carry out an execution in a bid to copy soldier Lee Rigby's brutal killing, Woolwich Crown Court heard. Jurors were told Syed was obsessed with the murder of Fusilier Rigby, who was hacked to death by two Islamist extremists near Woolwich barracks in 2013. Syed was fixated by violence and knives and "unnaturally interested in murders and beheadings", his six-week trial heard.
