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.
Jamshed Javeed appeared to be "just a normal family man" before he was radicalised and wanted to fight for Islamic State in Syria, police say.
Detective Chief Superintendent Tony Mole, the head of the North West Counter Terrorism Unit, said: "He appeared to be just a normal family man with a stable family; he came from a stable background; he was a school teacher and had his own children."
Mr Mole said it appeared the chemistry teacher had become radicalised in "a fairly short period of time" after interacting with a group who were determined to fight for IS.
A family's desperate bid to stop a teacher joining Islamic State has been revealed in emotional recordings.
A Bolton chemistry teacher is to be sentenced today after admitting terror offences - with police claiming he wanted to join Islamic State.
