A British teacher was convicted Friday of trying to recruit students to carry out Islamic State-inspired attacks across London. Prosecutors said that Haque “was fascinated by the warped and extreme ideology of ISIS.”Metropolitan Police Counterterrorism Cmdr. Dean Haydon said he planned to “created an army of children” that would help carry out attacks at “multiple sites using multiple weapons.”“He tried and he did, we believe, radicalize vulnerable children from the ages of 11 to 14,” Haydon said. Haque lacked qualifications for the academic positions, however police say he became employed under the guise of teaching Islamic studies, Reuters reported. He and two other men convicted of helping him will be sentenced at a later date.
