terrorist organization.

Ghulam Hussain,

...but his friends called him Basil...

31, from Batley, West Yorkshire, confessed telling an undercover police officer he intended to join ISIS.

Hussain, who is of Pak origin, paid the undercover officer for accommodation during his journey, telling the undercover agent that he would rather die than return to the UK.

The undercover police officer made audio and video recordings of their talks.

"It was your intention to go abroad, it was your intention to take up arms and to kill, and you did encourage the undercover officer to do the same as you," Judge Peter Collier told the defendant in court, adding, "You did have a commitment to travel to Syria, to join ISIS, to fight and give your life."

Hussain was convicted for two offenses under Section 5 of the Terrorism Act.
