Birmingham terrorist was swarmed by cops and arrested last Thursday (19th) after plotting to behead Teresa May.
Naa'imur Zakariyah Rahman (pictured), 20, planned to bomb the gates of 10 Downing Street, kill guards and then attack Theresa May with a knife or gun. He revealed to an undercover police officer that he would make a “10-second sprint” for the door of the building, with his main objective to “take her head off.”
But the Islamic State terrorist's suicide plot was thwarted when he collected what he believed was an explosive-packed rucksack in London last November.
The dramatic arrest came after the drifter revealed his plans to undercover officers - believing them to be an IS handler helping his plot materialise.
Rahman was snared by a network of undercover counter-terrorism officers from the Metropolitan Police, the FBI and MI5.
The trial heard how Rahman was encouraged by an uncle who travelled to Syria to fight and was killed in a drone strike last June.
Rahman came to the attention of police in August last year when he was arrested on suspicion of sending indecent images to underage girls, but never charged. An examination of his mobile phone raised concern he may be harbouring extremist views.
Rahman's co-defendant Imran, 22, was found guilty of having a terrorist handbook. After more than 15 hours of deliberations, jurors could not agree on a verdict on a charge against Imran of preparing terrorist acts abroad.
The jury was discharged and the Crown would be seeking a retrial in his case.
