A teenager has been found guilty of planning an Islamic State-inspired terrorist attack on a pop concert a month after the Manchester Arena bombing. The 17-year-old, who is of white British heritage, researched security surrounding a Justin Bieber concert in Cardiff and wrote a “martyrdom letter”. I have attacked Cardiff today because your government keep on bombing targets in Syria and Iraq. The boy said he had been talking to someone on Instagram calling themselves Al-Baghdadi for about a week. He appeared to be searching for a target, looking up the New Theatre in Cardiff, Cardiff Central Library and the McArthurGlen outlet centre in Bridgend.
