Teen terror suspect stands trial for sharing pro-ISIS songs on his phone
Iftikhar Ali, 18, was also reportedly caught with a guide on how to get through airport security and preparing for Jihad
A TEEN terror suspect has appeared in court accused of having ISIS songs on his phone.
Iftikhar Ali was just 17-years-old when he was nicked for allegedly sharing the tunes.
He was also caught with a guide on how to get through airport security and preparing for Jihad, it was said.
Ali, now 18, appeared in the dock after being charged on Monday following a ten-month cop investigation.
He faced five counts of distributing and circulating terrorist publications and one count of possessing a document containing information useful to terrorism.
It’s alleged he shared the Nasheeds - or songs - in support of ISIS led by chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Titles included For the sake of Allah, Give our regards to Abu Bakr, Strike, o lion of Fallujah, Line up and swear allegiance to Al-Baghdadi and When we conquer a country we implement the rules of Allah.
Ali is also charged with possessing a 148 page document on his phone entitled ‘Advice for those doing Hijrah’ – travelling to ISIS.
Prosecuting Mark Dawson told Westminster magistrates court: "It's a document that gives trade advice on security measures, advice on preparation for Jihad, advice for those wishing to travel.
"It's not a general advice document. It's a strategic document and it is clearly useful to terrorists."
Ali, from High Wycombe, Bucks – supported by his mum, siblings and grandmother – denied all six charges.
He was denied bail to appear at the Old Bailey on January 12.
