A Bangladeshi Islamic militant working for British Airways was found guilty Monday of plotting to blow up a plane after conspiring with radical US-Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.
Rajib Karim, 31, was convicted of four counts of preparing terror attacks by a jury at Woolwich Crown Court in London.
He was "committed to an extreme jihadist and religious cause" and was "determined to seek martyrdom", jurors were told.
The Bangladeshi national, who moved with his wife and son to Newcastle in northeast England in 2006, had admitted being involved in the production of a terrorist group's video, fundraising and volunteering for terror abroad.
