Two British terrorists who fled the UK to fight in Syria ordered Islam For Dummies, The Koran For Dummies and Arabic For Dummies from Amazon ahead of their trip.
After eight months fighting in Syria they were arrested on their return to Heathrow Airport in January after their relatives tipped off counter-terrorism detectives.
They told officers they had been doing humanitarian work but a camera including images of them posing with guns on the front line, was found in their luggage. Traces of ‘military-grade explosives’, including TNT and nitro-glycerine were on the men’s clothes and trainers.
Each admitted one count of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorism acts contrary to Section 5 of the Terrorism Act. They pleaded guilty after the judge indicated a reduced sentence if they were to plead guilty early in proceedings.
The families of both men put pressure on them to return to the UK once they discovered where they were.
