[Part of his preparations Little had
looked up different guns and their
capabilities and arranged to buy one for £5,000.
As he set off on September 23 last year,
Little agreed to pay the taxi driver £300
to take him to Lewisham, south London,
saying money was no problem.
He asked to stop at a mosque to pray but
said he would do it in the cab after
being told there was none on route.
When arrested, he was carrying a rucksack
with £5,000 in cash, a passport and two
mobile phones.
Police later found an encrypted chat on one
phone, setting out his attack plan
and the gun purchase.

Going by the online name of “Abdullah”,
Little was also said to have exchanged
chat about religion, Iraq and “kuffar”.]
