Mr Greaney said investigators had failed to trace Kadir, but Istanbul “has often been used as a staging post to Syria”

Poice found Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (Isil) related material on a mobile phone taken from Syeedy’s mobile phone.

Photographs of flags associated with jihad draped over road signs were also found, and an image of someone holding up a flag for "Rochdale 2 Syria" - an aid convoy in which the defendant was involved.

The jury was also shown video footage of one such convoy to Syria, which was interspersed with images of Syeedy and others said to be giving an Isil salute, and a man planting an Isil flag, apparently in the UK.

Mr Greaney said the material seized clearly showed that Syeedy had been "radicalised".

He said Syeedy had travelled to Syria in 2013 as part of an aid convoy and said "perhaps" his mindset changed then.

Mr Uddin's form of healing involved the use of amulets, known as taweez, that believers think can bring good fortune or ward off evil, the court heard. Mr Greaney said the practice was controversial and Isil rejected all forms of magic, believing those who practise it should be punished, often by death.
