A teenager is facing jail today after admitting four terror charges at the Old Bailey.

Mohammed Abdul Hasnath, 19, pleaded guilty to four counts of having copies of al Qaida magazine Inspire on his computer.

The prosecution case was that the publications contained material likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.

Alison Morgan, prosecuting, said: “It is clear that over a period of time, this defendant had a sustained interest in this type of material.”

Hasnath, of Blair Street, Poplar, east London, appeared by videolink and was remanded in custody to May 11 for sentence.

A further charge of disseminating terrorist literature was ordered to remain on file.
