Counter Terrorism Policing West Midlands CTU identified three of the men involved in terrorism-related activities between 2022 and 2023.

These included Roshman Azad Wali Saeed, aged 30 from Birmingham and Tshko Ahmad Mohamad, aged 33 from West Bromwich.

Saeed was convicted of six counts of dissemination of terrorism publications and entering terrorism funding activities following a trial.

He was jailed for 12 years at Birmingham Crown Court in April last year.

Mohamad was convicted of fundraising for terrorism during the same trial and sentenced to seven years.

The two can now be named after another from their group, Mohammed Hamad, from Liverpool admitted two offences connected to the dissemination of terrorism propaganda at Liverpool Crown Court last week.
