A drill rapper who used his music to "glorify" so-called Islamic State (IS) killings was "seriously contemplating" making a bomb to use in a terror attack, a court has heard. Al-Arfat Hassan bought knives and chemicals online that he intended to use for an improvised explosive device. Hassan, 21, from Enfield, north London, has been sentenced to seven years in prison for possessing chemicals for a terrorist purpose. One of his teenage fans, a 17-year-old from Leeds, was sentenced to three and a half years in prison for failing to disclose his knowledge of Hassan's terrorist activities. Both also pleaded guilty to possession of a so-called Islamic State video with demonstrations showing the "gruesome" killing of prisoners. The propaganda video provided detailed instructions on manufacturing explosives and killing people with knives.
