Hammaad Munshi, from Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, was 16 when he was arrested in 2006. | |
Now 18, he was convicted of making a record of information likely to be used for terrorist purposes, but cleared of possessing terrorist material. | |
Sentencing him at the Old Bailey, Judge Timothy Pontius said Munshi "fell under the spell of fanatical extremists". | |
"There is no doubt that you knew what you were doing," the judge told him. | |
During his trial at Blackfriars Crown Court, the jury heard that police found a guide to making napalm on Munshi's computer. | |
His barrister said he had showed "curiosity" as opposed to any kind of malicious intent. |
