After Parviz Khan, 37, was arrested at his house in Alum Rock, Birmingham, police found a wealth of items in rooms throughout the property which was ready to be shipped to Pakistan, Leicester Crown Court was told.

In the hallway and living room, officers found signal detectors, binoculars, a hunting catalogue, heavy duty rubber gloves and a variety of torches. A Sony camcorder, allegedly ordered by Khan's terrorist contacts in Pakistan to film their attacks on coalition forces, was also found.

Police found five packs of marksman kneepads in kitchen cupboards. On the floor of the bathroom, they discovered a camping gas stove.

In the front bedroom, a wind-up torch, a knife catalogue, 12 boxes of hand warmers, torches, camcorders were found. In a second bedroom, police unearthed rucksacks, sensors designed to detect movement on fishing lines, pairs of goggles, spotlights, a laser sight and three shoe care kits. And in a rear bedroom, police found more torches, a 50-channel FM scanning receiver, a camouflage tent and insect repellent.

Khan pleaded guilty earlier this month to supplying equipment to terrorists operating on the Pakistan/Afghanistan border.

The trial in Leicester of two men accused with Khan of terrorist offences was earlier told of his shipments to Pakistan from 2004 to 2006.

At the time, Khan described the shipments, weighing up to a tonne, as aid for earthquake victims, such as medicines and clothes, or "personal effects". In fact, the cargoes included a range of equipment ordered by his terrorist contacts in Pakistan, such as electronic kit, sleeping bags, walkie talkies and waterproof map-holders.

When Khan was stopped by a port official in July 2006 on his return to the UK he was found with a notepad.

"He was bringing a shopping list from terrorist contacts of materials they wanted sent back in the next delivery," said Nigel Rumfitt QC, prosecuting. Equipment found at his home in the raid matches that written on the shopping list and contents of the shipments, said prosecutors.
