LONDON, Feb 15: A British jury on Friday convicted a fifth suspect of joining in a plot to kidnap and decapitate a British soldier.
Zahoor Iqbal, 30, was found guilty of helping Parviz Khan to supply equipment to people in Pakistan for terrorist activities. The jury in Leicester, England, cleared Iqbal of another charge of possessing a document likely to be useful to a terrorist.
Khan was convicted of concocting a plot to lure an unidentified Muslim soldier into a trap and then cut off his head. He pleaded guilty to four charges linked to the plot and other offences.
