Brusthom Ziamani was radicalised 'within weeks', say police

A teenager who wanted to behead a British soldier with a 12in knife has been found guilty of preparing a terrorist act.

Brusthom Ziamani, 19, converted to Islam and was talking about extreme acts within weeks. The court heard he had revelled in the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby in 2013.

Commander Richard Walton from the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command spoke about his conviction.
