A teenager from South East London has been jailed for sharing a bomb-making manual online which he disguised as a guide for the popular video game Minecraft. 

Connor Burke, 19, a London university student shared the manual, which contained information on how to create improvised explosive devices (IEDs), on Telegram to a group containing around 12,000 users. 

After tracking him through his social media account, police arrested Burke at his family home in Bexleyheath, and found further terrorist-related documents on his electronic devices, Woolwich Crown Court heard. 

A search of his room also discovered a copy of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf and The Anarchist Cookbook, which gave advice for building explosives, the court was told. 

He pleaded guilty to disseminating a terrorist publication and to four counts of possession of a document likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, in a hearing in July 2021.

He was sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court to a total of 42 months' imprisonment and an additional 12 months on licence.
