A chemistry teacher who wanted to travel to Syria to fight with Islamic State has been jailed for six years.
Jamshed Javeed, 30, who taught at a school in Bolton, admitted two counts of engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts.
Sentencing chemistry teacher Jamshed Javeed to six years in prison for Syria-terror related offences, Judge Michael Topolski said he believed the 30-year-old presented a "potential danger" to the British public and had not rejected Islamic State's ideology.
Mr Javeed's father earlier dismissed suggestions his son was a violent extremist who posed a threat to the UK.
A family's desperate bid to stop a teacher joining Islamic State has been revealed in emotional recordings.
