Teenager Found Guilty of Planning to Behead British Soldier

A teenage Muslim convert has been found guilty of hatching a plot to behead a British soldier, inspired by the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby, by a jury at the Old Bailey.
 
Brusthom Ziamani, 19, from Camberwell in London, was arrested in August 2014 with a 12-inch knife, a hammer and an 'Islamic flag'. 
 
He'd earlier researched the location of Army Cadet bases in the South East of the capital.
 
In light of the verdict, Forces TV reporter Tim Cooper has been assessing the level of threat faced by service personnel and their families on the UK's streets.
