Terror offender Mohiussunnath Chowdhury planned to target sites in London including Madame Tussauds.
A chicken shop worker acquitted two years ago of a sword attack outside Buckingham Palace has been found guilty of planning a series of terror attacks, months after walking free from court.
Only later - seventh on the list - would he find time to meet God; and his 10th task of life in the hereafter was"choose quests to embark on". There were two trials in relation to that incident. The first jury failed to reach a verdict, and the second jury acquitted him of preparing an act of terrorism atMr Chowdhury told jurors he only wanted to be killed by police and did not intend to harm anyone in August 2017.
The posts included messages echoing jihadist propaganda, including his hopes for a battlefield death. That was enough for the police and MI5 to believe he had hit the ground running for a new attack - and the undercover team was sent in. The plan to spark his interest appeared to have worked. When Zulf later returned with a new undercover officer, Hamza, Chowdhury wanted to befriend them.
During one meeting, Chowdhury played part of the video that was live-streamed on Facebook by the far-right killer who attacked a mosque in New Zealand. At one point the university drop-out became animated at the idea of attacking Gay Pride in London. The parade would be a good target, said Chowdhury, because of its"piss-poor security… the way they march they are asking to get hit by some jihadist".After months of building a relationship, officer Mikael told Chowdhury he had obtained a gun for his own plans - and the suspect immediately asked if he could get one too.
Chowdhury did not answer the question directly - but shook his head. He then said he was waiting for another man from prison to join him. She replied that he was"having a a down day", but he retorted:"No I'm serious, bro - it's about time now."
