Owner of terrorist handbooks jailed for nearly four years
Adam Wyatt pleaded guilty to owning and sharing terrorist material.
A man has been jailed for three years and nine months for owning terrorist handbooks.
Adam Wyatt, 48, of Bridgewater Street in Salford, was sentenced at Manchester Crown Court on Wednesday after pleading guilty to owning and sharing terrorist material, Greater Manchester Police said.
He admitted owning booklets, including one called the Mujahedeen Poisons Handbook.
A judge ruled Wyatt’s actions were intentional rather than reckless.
“Wyatt used social media to air his abhorrent views and encourage terrorist attacks in Britain and across the world.
“Although Wyatt never pursued an attack himself, he was encouraging others and sharing information that could have led to the deaths of others.
“He will now spend the next three years and nine months in prison where he can no longer poison minds and encourage people to kill for his cause.”
