Two brothers who filmed al-Qaida-style propaganda have been convicted of terrorist offences.

Abbas Iqbal, 24, of Blackburn, gathered a stockpile of weapons at the family home, while brother Ilyas, 23, compiled information on guerrilla warfare.

Abbas was found guilty of preparing for acts of terrorism and dissemination of terrorist publications.

Ilyas was convicted of possessing a document likely to be useful to a terrorist, at Manchester Crown Court.

The pair, who called themselves "The Blackburn Resistance", will be sentenced later.

A third man, Muhammad Ahmad, 26, was cleared of preparing for an act of terrorism.

A documented attack plan, and a stockpile of weapons. These guys deserve to get caught. They should have planned a suicide attack and killed themselves during the process.
