Farhad Salah, 23 of Brunswick Road in Sheffield and Andy Star, 32 of the Mermaid Fish Bar in Sheffield Road in Chesterfield, were hoping to harm "infidels" using the weapon.

Describing the two defendants as supporters of Islamic State, prosecutor Anne Whyte QC said their intentions were "sophisticated" and "lethal"

The trial is expected to last four weeks.
