Man Facing Jail After Being Found Guilty of Possessing Bomb-Making Video

Adam Mahmood, with over 27,000 TikTok followers, possessed a detailed bomb-making video linked to past UK terror attacks, leading to a unanimous conviction after brief jury deliberation.

  • On September 9, jurors at Birmingham Crown Court unanimously convicted Adam Mahmood, a TikTok user with more than 27,000 followers, of possessing a bomb-making video after under two hours of deliberation.
  • Prosecutors said the 14-minute video was last accessed on March 24, created via Telegram in October 2023, and asked another user to send it via messaging app.
  • After his April 2024 arrest, investigators found on Mahmood's phone bomb-making files and execution footage, while police recovered several knives, two sharpeners, and a part-made sword from his bedroom and home.
  • The judge remanded Mahmood in custody pending pre-sentence reports assessing dangerousness and rejected Defence barrister Ben Hargreaves' bid to extend tag-monitored bail; Mahmood faces a sentence 'measured in years' and is due to be sentenced on November 19.
  • Detective Chief Superintendent Alison Hurst stated that an expert assessed the videos as 'incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands,' and authorities urged reporting terrorism-related material via 0800 789 321.
