1:39pm UK, Friday September 19, 2008 Britain's youngest convicted terrorist has been jailed for two years in a young offenders institution.  Hammaad Munshi was 16 when police found a guide to death and explosives hidden in his bedroom. It contained instructions for making napalm, other high explosives, detonators, grenades and "how to kill". Munshi, who is now 18, of Saville Town, Dewsbury, West Yorks, was part of a cell of 'cyber-groomers' that set out to brainwash the vulnerable to kill "non-believers". The GCSE student led a double life, obediently attending school by day and surfing jihadist websites at night. Sentencing him at the Old Bailey, Judge Timothy Pontius said he "fell under the spell of fanatical extremists". He added: "There is no doubt that you knew what you were doing." The teenager's grandfather is Sheikh Yakub Munshi, president of the Islamic Research Institute of Great Britain at the Markazi Mosque, Dewsbury. In a statement on behalf of Munshi's family, he said: "As a family we have always tried to abide by and uphold the laws of the United Kingdom of which we are proud to be citizens. We respect, therefore, today's judgment. "But like any other family in this country, we are deeply upset by the situation in which Hammaad finds himself. "The past two-and-a-half years have been stressful, not only for him and our family but also for the whole community in Saville Town. "All of us feel there are lessons to be learnt, not only for us but also for the whole Muslim community in this country. "This case demonstrates how a young impressionable teenager can be groomed so easily through the internet to associate with those whose views run contrary to true Muslim beliefs and values." Munshi was tried with co-defendants Aabid Khan and Sultan Muhammad, who were also found guilty of possessing terror-related documents. Khan was jailed for 12 years after being found guilty on three counts of possessing articles for a purpose connected with terrorism Muhammad was jailed for 10 years for similar offences. Munshi was recruited by 23-year-old Khan - who was described as a "key player" in radicalising the impressionable and vulnerable with his message of "violent jihad". Khan wanted to help the teenager with his wish to go overseas and "fight jihad", the court was told. Authorities found al Qaeda propaganda and videos promoting "murder and destruction" on Munshi's computer. The case was brought following Operation Praline, headed by Leeds Counter-Terrorism Unit.
