Three right-wing extremists have been found guilty of planning terrorist attacks on mosques and synagogues.
Christopher Ringrose, Marco Pitzettu and Brogan Stewart were convicted at Sheffield Crown Court on Tuesday.
Counter-terrorism police arrested Ringrose, a 34-year-old from Cannock in Staffordshire, Pitzettu, aged 25, from Derby, and Stewart, 24, from Wakefield, in February 2024 following a probe into suspected “extreme right-wing activity”.
A previous court hearing was told the trio were accused of identifying the Islamic Education Centre in Leeds as a potential target.
Prosecutors alleged that they took steps to manufacture an FGC-9 semi-automatic firearm, acquired instructions on how to assemble a 3D-printed firearm, and took steps to acquire weapons including swords, axes, and bows and arrows.
