Britain has convicted four men of organizing or attending terrorism training camps, including a leader who called himself "Osama bin London."

A high security court in London Tuesday convicted 50-year-old Mohammed Hamid and three of his followers Kibley da Costa, Mohammed Al-Figari, and Kader Ahmed. It acquitted one suspect Mousa Brown. Sentencing is set for a later date.

Police said Hamid had organized terrorist training camps in Britain, where trainees used sticks in place of rifles and practiced beheadings on watermelons. Authorities said Hamid planned to send his recruits for more training in Afghanistan and east Africa. He was arrested after an undercover agent infiltrated his followers.
