16-year-old who said he would 'kill many people' with device could face jail at Leeds court
A jury was told by prosecutors how the teenager, who cannot be named, had researched bomb-making extensively and constructed a device that, with the addition of gunpowder and a fuse, could have been a "viable CO2 bomb" of the type used "to cause maximum harm and death to civilians".
He will be sentenced at Leeds Crown Court next month after he was convicted on Thursday of one count of making an explosive substance and three counts of possession of a document likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
