A MAN has pleaded guilty to a terrorism offence after he posted support for Hamas online.

Ozain Yousef, 23, from the Chapeltown area of Leeds, was arrested on November 24 last year on suspicion of supporting a proscribed organisation, Counter Terrorism Policing North East said.

He was charged with one terrorism offence over claims he published a series of images online, in such a way as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he is a supporter of banned terrorist group Hamas.

Yousef pleaded guilty to the offence at Westminster Magistrates' Court today.

He is due to be sentenced at the same court on April 9.
