Teenager Kazi Islam jailed for 'terror grooming'

A 19-year-old man has been sentenced to eight years in a young offenders' institution for grooming a young man with learning difficulties to kill a UK soldier.

Kazi Islam, of Newham, east London, tried to persuade Harry Thomas, also 19, to buy ingredients for a pipe bomb and to attack soldiers.

He was convicted of preparing to commit acts of terrorism.
