Mohamad al-Bared used technology at Coventry home to make drone designed to deliver a warhead or chemical weapon for IS
A Birmingham University PhD student has been found guilty of using a 3D printer at home to build a “kamikaze” drone designed to deliver an explosive warhead or chemical weapon for Islamic State (IS) terrorists.
Mechanical engineering graduate Mohamad al-Bared, 27, was found guilty of using a 3D printer to make the drone at his Coventry home while sending weekly updates to IS.
After a five-week trial at Birmingham crown court, he was convicted of a single count of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts to benefit a proscribed terrorist organisation.
Bared was remanded in custody and told he could face a life term when he is sentenced on 27 November.
What a wasted talent. All the things he could of accomplished instead he became a fucking terrorist.
Based on the photo of the drone, he looked like he could have had a brilliant career as a hot glue-drenched “life hack” YouTuber.
Beyond that, I’m less confident.
Seriously, guy could have made a nice YT channel where he flies his FPV drone around with his friends. Instead this.
