 A 34-year-old man in the UK who used a James Bond-style USB cufflink to store extremist data in pursuit of Islamic State's campaign of terrorism on Monday admitted five charges against him.

Samata Ullah pleaded guilty to being a member of the Islamic State, terrorist training, preparing terrorist acts and possessing articles for terrorist purposes.

He denied one charge of directing terrorism.

The Old Bailey court in london heard the Attorney General had decided to accept the pleas.

The remaining charge will lie on his file, the BBC reported.

When he was arrested on September 22, he had a USB cufflink with an operating system loaded onto it to conceal a hoard of extremist data, including a blog.
