Yorkshire extremist who tried to join IS in Syria to be sentenced in August
Ghulam Hussain earlier admitted two terror offences after being caught preparing to travel to the group's heartland in the Middle East.
The 30-year-old, of Track Road, in Batley, West Yorkshire, had obtained credit cards using false details and bought an airline ticket to travel to Pakistan and return a week later via Turkey.

Hide AdHe was due to be sentenced at Leeds Crown Court on Friday, but the case was adjourned until August 4 for legal reasons.
The Recorder of Leeds Judge Peter Collier QC said Hussain faces a jail sentence of several years.
Remanding the defendant back into custody, he told him: "It looks, at the moment, likely we will be able to come back to this case on the 4th of August.
"On that date, I hope to be able to tell you what the length of your sentence will be."

His arrest came after he gave an undercover officer £160 to fund his accommodation as he travelled to join IS.
