IS supporter admits calling for jihadis to attack Prince George

An Islamic State (IS) supporter who called for jihadis to attack Prince George on Thursday pleaded guilty to the three count charge of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts.

Husnain Rashid, of Nelson, Lancashire, had maintained his innocence throughout proceedings at Woolwich Crown Court, but unexpectedly admitted to a string of terror offences.

Nearly two weeks into his trial, Rashid was re-indicted and pleaded guilty to three counts of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts.

He also admitted one count of encouraging terrorism.

The charges covered offences spanning from October 2016 to April.
