Jailed radical Muslim posed with guns 'to look cool'
A radical Muslim student jailed for planning to join rebel forces in Syria had told the court he posed for pictures with guns because he wanted to look "cool".
David Souaan, 20, was arrested after fellow students raised concerns about the pictures and his radical views on Islam, the Old Bailey heard.
"At the time when I was there I felt something like I wanted some trophy - the photos. As the teenagers say nowadays, it looks 'cool'. So that was the reason," he said during his trial.
