Three on trial over alleged terror plot using knives

Three men have gone on trial at Woolwich Crown Court accused of plotting to use knives to carry out a terrorist attack in the UK.

The prosecution alleges the men were inspired by a fatwa from Islamic State militants.

Nadir Ali Syed, 22, from Hounslow, west London, Yousaf Shah Syed, 20, from High Wycombe and Haseeb Hamayoon, 28, from Hayes, west London, all deny preparing terrorist acts.
