Muhammad Aftab Suleman was caught with 4 copies of Al Qaeda monthly, including a list of potential targets in Britain.

A Muslim IT expert who made extremist videos in his Manchester bedroom has been jailed for nearly three years for distributing radical material.

Muhammad Aftab Suleman, 25, born in Pakistan, added English translations to videos glorifying terrorism and publishing them on YouTube.

He was arrested at Manchester airport as he attempted to flee to Pakistan, the day after police found a stash of extremist material at his home in Crumpsall in December 2014.

Suleman was in possession of four issues of the al-Qaeda magazine Inspire, one of which included a list of potential targets in Britain, including football stadiums, tennis matches, the Cheltenham Gold Cup, Epsom Derby and the Savoy Hotel.

Police also discovered a separate document called ’10 methods to detect or foil the plots of spies’ and a pen drive containing 435 extremist documents.

His online support for the killing of children at a school in Pakistan was also used as evidence against him.

He also posted links to his English version of a song called ‘Flames of War’ and a copy of Inspire issue 12 on an internet forum used by extremists.

Both pieces were written in response to a December 2014 massacre at a military school in Peshawar, in Pakistan, and claimed to justify the killing of innocent children.

He claimed that the 132 children who died at the school were killed in the ‘crossfire’.

Suleman was also alleged to be a member of the Pakistani Taliban, known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the same group that tried to kill schoolgirl Malala Yousafzai, but the charges were dropped.
