Muhammad Billal, 18, was arrested on February XX and charged with two counts of preparation of terrorist acts, relating to an alleged gun attack plan and travelling to Somalia.

The defendant, from Nelson in Lancashire, was also charged with four counts of collecting information likely to be of use to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism relating to possession of issues of Rumiyah, the Islamic State online propaganda magazine, between last April and August.
Billal, who was not represented by a lawyer, admitted all the charges against him during a hearing at the Old Bailey on Friday.
The court heard his terror attack planning involved researching "accessible shooting ranges" and the purchase of "chest rigs" designed to hold ammunition between February and October last year.
