I give up: Found not guilty of preparing acts of terrorism
A man who attacked police with a sword outside Buckingham Palace while repeatedly screaming Allahu Akbar has been found not guilty of preparing acts of terrorism.
Mohiussunnath Chowdhury, 27, told jurors his claims to support ISIS were ‘in jest’ and his attack was because he was ‘depressed’ and ‘wanted police to kill him’.
They unanimously acquitted the Uber driver, who lashed out at three officers on August 25 last year.
One of the officers said he had ‘fought for his life’ in the terrifying incident but a jury had failed to reach a verdict in June this year.

After that trial collapsed, Chowdhury was held at Belmarsh Prison – where he passed the time sketching pictures of an Islamist terrorist gunning down a man outside Number 10.
His latest trial was shown the drawing – in which the attacker is depicted shouting Allahu Akbar as blood sprays on the front door – along with a sketch of a plane hitting the Twin Towers in New York.
Prosecutors at this trial said Chowdhury had chosen ‘self-radicalisation’ and had scoured the internet for articles linked to Jihadi John and ISIS beheadings.

Further social media was revealed showing Chowdhury praising the Westminster Bridge terrorist Khalid Masood and claiming all the non-Muslim victims of the atrocity would go to hell.
Chowdhury urged his family to ‘struggle against the enemies of Allah’ including the Queen and British soldiers in a suicide note left on his sister’s laptop.
Sneha Chowdhury, 24, said her brother was ‘not a trouble-maker, just a practical joker’ whose interests included ‘cartoons, funny stuff and things like memes’.
She said she found it odd when he suggested they watch ‘The State’, a Channel 4 documentary about the rise of ISIS.
Chowdhury had conducted internet searches for beheadings and ‘Prophet Mohammed crimes’ and ‘Mohammed sex slaves’.
It is a shame members of the jury are clearly unfamiliar with the concepts of “Taqiya” and “Caliphate.”
This war is lost if only one sides acknowledges it.
