A TERRORIST who planned to 'hunt down' and kill a decorated British soldier was jailed for six years last Thursday.UPDATE: Interested Participant has been following this story and has an image of the convicted jihadi here.Abu Baker Mansha, 21, of Harold Wilson House, Arnott Close, Thamesmead, obtained the address of Corporal Mark Byles, 34, after reading a newspaper report on his killing of at least three insurgents in Iraq.
...Mansha had amassed a collection of 'virulent' anti-west propaganda with stacks of DVDs, including one of the hostage Kenneth Bigley, pleading for his life before being beheaded.
Others featured Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader. Police also found a blank-firing pistol which somebody had attempted to convert into a lethal working weapon.
Last month, Mansha was convicted by a Southwark Crown Court jury of possessing a document containing information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
He denied the offence under the Terrorism Act 2000 which carries the maximum term of up to 10 years in jail....
