But his defence barrister Delroy Henry argued he was not planning an attack but had a "stupid interest in the gory".

The boy told the jury he wanted to see how easy it was to research terror-related topics online.

The boy was found guilty of one charge of engaging in the preparation of a terrorist act, two charges of encouraging terrorism, and a further two charges of possessing terrorist information.
