A teenage white supremacist from County Durham has been found guilty of terrorism offences.
Nicky Davison, 19, was convicted of three separate charges of possessing records useful in committing or preparing acts of terrorism.
Newcastle Crown Court heard he was part of a white supremacist group called the Aryan Strike Force, with his father.
Terror manuals were found on computers at the home he shared with his mother in Annfield Plain last June.
The teenager's father, Ian Davison, has already admitted preparing for acts of terrorism and producing a chemical weapon, the deadly poison ricin.
The pair will be sentenced together.
The court heard he helped his father administer the Aryan Strike Force website, which aimed to carry out terrorist "ops", and overthrow the government.
The former milkman's assistant, of Grampian Way, Annfield Plain, was a founder member of the Aryan Strike Force set up by his 41-year-old father Ian.
Ian Davison has already admitted six charges, including producing deadly ricin, one of the world's most dangerous substances.
The jury at Newcastle Crown Court took 50 minutes to convict the teenager after hearing the group planned to fight against what they called the Zionist Occupied Government and believed the state had been taken over by Jews.
Jurors heard a police raid at the home he shared with his mother and younger brother found copies of The Poor Man's James Bond and the Anarchist's Cookbook on two computers.
Nicky Davison denied any knowledge of the documents and the court was told a "mischievous" friend had downloaded them.
In his defence, Davison said he joined the group to please his racist father.
Durham Police welcomed the conviction and pledged to crackdown on violent extremism.
