Prosecutors say Javeed was arrested while preparing for a trip to Syria to join terror group Islamic State (IS). 'Radical views'
Javeed said at the time of his arrest, he felt the British government was not doing enough to help the situation in Syria. Prosecutors say Javeed was arrested while preparing for a trip to Syria to join terror group Islamic State (IS), also known as Isis.
He entered his guilty plea at Woolwich Crown Court, south-east London. Greater Manchester Police said Javeed had been "an otherwise law-abiding man" who had a child, and another on the way, when relatives noticed he was "beginning to hold more radical views".
Det Chief Supt Tony Mole, head of the North West Counter Terrorism Unit, said: "However from August last year both his appearance and behaviour started to change and in a short space of time he started to support the Isis cause and those planning to travel to Syria.
"His family grew suspicious and were clearly intent on stopping him, but he ignored their pleas and told them he was determined to go through with his plans to travel to Syria."
He added: "What this case tells us is that the earlier we can be told about someone's intentions to join a group like this the better. Ideally, we would like to stop people well before they get to this stage."
At the time of his arrest, Javeed said he felt the British government was not doing enough to help the situation in Syria and that his actions were "honourable".
Woolwich Crown Court, in south-east London, heard he no longer supports the actions of IS in Syria and Iraq.
