A civil engineer who shared ISIS-inspired videos on Facebook has been jailed for seven years.
Abdulrahman Alcharbati was found guilty of making 70 Facebook posts promoting a "wealth of Islamic State material".
Alcharbati had denied the charges but jurors at Newcastle Crown Court found the 32-year-old guilty of six counts of sharing terrorist material.
The jury heard he "glorified terrorism" by posting links to executions and ISIS videos which promoted suicide bombings.
The posts, which were made in February 2017, were among 386 posts made between January 24 – February 26 2017. Over a hundred of these posts referred to either ISIS or martyrdom.
Alcharbati, of Benwell in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, was also found guilty of possessing a bomb-making manual.
Head of Counter Terrorism Policing North East, Detective Chief Superintendent Martin Snowden said: “Mr Alcharbati was sharing and publishing terrorist material via Facebook.
"This material actively encouraged others to carry out terrorist activity.
"He was also found to have downloaded an instructional guide which contained detailed instructions on how to make a suicide vest.
"While there was no evidence to indicate the purpose for the possession of this material, or any intended distribution of it, the very fact that it was downloaded is deeply concerning.
"Possession of such material is a serious offence. Should it fall into the wrong hands it could present a very real risk to public safety. Public safety is our priority and we acted quickly in conjunction with Northumbria Police in this investigation to ensure this.
“Terrorist groups such as Daesh rely heavily on their propaganda being shared online where it is used to radicalise, encourage support and provoke individuals to carry out attacks abroad and in the UK.
“Tackling extremist material is an essential part of protecting the public and preventing offences that incite or encourage acts of terrorism."
