A former British Airways software engineer has been jailed for 30 years for plotting to blow up a plane.
Rajib Karim, 31, from Newcastle, used his job to access information for an al-Qaeda preacher based in Yemen to target BA's flights in the US.
Sentencing him at Woolwich Crown Court, Mr Justice Calvert-Smith said he was a committed jihadist who planned offences "about as grave as could be imagined".
The judge said he had worked "incessantly" for terrorist purposes.
