A terrorist who admits hoarding pro-ISIS propaganda helped raise thousands of pounds for ‘fighter brothers’ in the Middle East, a court heard.<\/p>\n
Ayub Nurhussein, 29, is charged with entering into a funding arrangement – totaling \u00a32,699.19 for the purposes of terrorism between April 11 and July 11 last year.<\/p>\n
Jurors at the Old Bailey were told that multiple communications had taken place between the defendant and another man, Said Mohammed, 30, via the private messaging app Telegram.<\/p>\n
It is claimed that Mohammed was in contact with a third person in Iraq, known as Wassim.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prosecutor Alistair Richardson said multiple messages had been exchanged in which Wassim had asked Mohammed to help raise funds from ‘brothers from abroad’ to support ISIS activities.<\/p>\n
‘The situation is bad, my brother. The situation is bad at all levels in Iraq,’ he said.<\/p>\n
‘If there are brothers…that would still give support, tell them this is a time of seriousness and this is a time when the Mujahedin (fighters) really need you.<\/p>\n
Mr Richardson said that the proximity of the calls and transactions between the two men and Wassim ‘clearly’ demonstrated the defendant’s involvement in the funding.<\/p>\n
Nurhussein has already pleaded guilty to seven counts in relation to possession and dissemination of terrorist material.<\/p>\n
The terrorist’s trial is expected to continue for two weeks before pronouncing the final judgment on the accused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
