A failed asylum seeker has been found guilty of hoarding terror manuals on his home computer.
Omar Altimimi, 37, was convicted of four counts of possessing computer files connected with the preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism, following a four-week trial at Manchester Crown Court.
The jurors are still deliberating on two similar terror charges and two charges of money laundering, and were sent home.
Earlier, the court heard that the father of three, living in Bolton, Greater Manchester, tried to "blend in" to the community, trying to get a job as a teacher and with the police, and creating three "parallel" identities to cover his tracks.
But he was also hoarding a huge quantity of terror-related material on his home computer.
The jury convicted him of possessing files relating to an organisational chart for a terror cell, instructions on bomb detonators, instructions on making explosives, and details about chemical explosives and "bombing strategies".
The jury has yet to reach verdicts on two further terror charges and two charges relating to money laundering.
Altimimi was first arrested on suspicion of money laundering in March 2006, when 54,610 US dollars (£27,080) of money stolen from the Yemen Tourist Board was transferred to an account at the Nationwide Building Society in Bolton.
Some of the money - £3,000 - was later transferred to his account.
Altimimi denied all the charges, said to have taken place between February and June last year. The defendant made no reaction as the jury foreman read out the guilty verdicts.
