A Norwegian teenager has been found guilty of travelling to England to carry out a killing ordered by an international crime gang linked to Iran.

Once he realised he was in a “pickle” with the Foxtrot Network, Natland said he planned to “shoot himself in the foot” to avoid carrying out the assassination.
In a search of his room, officers found a plastic bag under his bed containing a semi-automatic pistol, a revolver and 19 rounds of ammunition.
