Samata Ullah, 34, an unemployed man from Cardiff in Wales, had admitted five terrorism charges including membership of Islamic State (IS). Police recovered 30 pairs of USB sticks disguised as cufflinks, which contained a guide to missile systems and instructions on how to avoid detection online. Counter Terrorism Commander Dean Haydon said Ullah had set up an online self-help library which contained IS propaganda, guidance on encryption and anti-surveillance techniques. "He's created a one-stop shop for terrorists," said Haydon in a statement, adding that Ullah used techniques the police had never seen before. "His character in the virtual world was very different from the one in the real world."
