FORMER BA EMPLOYEE PLEADS GUILTY TO TERROR CHARGES

Bangladesh-born Rajib Karim, a former British Airways employee, has admitted some terror charges ahead of trial. He pleaded guilty to being involved in the production and distribution of a video on behalf of the outlawed terror group Jammat-ul Mujahideen Bangladesh and pleaded guilty to funding associates in Yemen, offering himself for terrorist training abroad and encouraging others to do the same.

Karim is also accused of deliberately seeking a job with British Airways in order to further an unnamed terrorist conspiracy.

He denies a series of other terror-related charges, which have not been made public.
