Zahoor Iqbal, 30, of Elmbridge Road, Perry Barr, Birmingham, was found guilty at Leicester Crown Court of one count of helping fanatic Parvis Khan to supply equipment to people in Pakistan, near the Afghanistan border, for terrorist activities.

He was cleared of a charge of possessing a document or record likely to be useful to a terrorist, namely a computer disc entitled Encyclopaedia Jihad.

Another man, Amjad Mahmood, 32, of Jackson Road, Alum Rock, Birmingham, was cleared of a charge of helping supply equipment for terrorist activities.

The jury, which first retired on Wednesday, has failed to reach a verdict on another charge, that Mahmood knew about Khan's plan to film the beheading of the soldier but failed to inform the authorities.

The jury was sent home for the weekend and will continue deliberating on Monday.

Khan has already admitted four charges linked to the kidnap plot and other offences.

Three other men have admitted other related terrorism offences.
