A Daesh fanatic who wished his followers a 'Happy 9/11' and posted 8,000 tweets glorifying the terror group and encouraging jihad has been jailed for five years.

According to Mail Online, Mohammed Ameen, 23, used 42 Twitter handles and 16 different accounts to express his support for Daesh between May and October last year.

Photos of Ameen holding a large knife with Arabic writing on the blade were found on his phone, and videos of him preaching on the streets of London had been uploaded online, the Old Bailey heard.

The security guard pleaded guilty last month to five counts of encouraging terrorism and one count of support for a proscribed organization.

Ameen, of Dagenham, east London, also pleaded guilty to one count of dissemination of a terrorist publication, relating to a video called For The Sake Of Allah, posted on Twitter last September.

The court heard he sent tweets celebrating the 9/11 attacks in New York.
