A step-by-step video guide on how to make a suicide vest was found at the home of a Somalian-born man in Leicester, a court has heard.
The 26-minute guide was among a cache of "terrorist videos and manuals" on computer files discovered at the home of Musse Yusuf, the Old Bailey was told.
They were stored on hard drives found by the side of a fridge and in the garage of Yusuf's home in Higgs Close, a jury heard. The "vast" amount of material included a 1,000-page al Qaida manual and instructions on how to make bombs and use guns, said Max Hill QC, prosecuting.
Further files included the "Al Qaida fitness training manual for new recruits" and "instructions on how to attack Jewish people".
Yusuf, 33, denies four counts of having documents or records for terrorism, relating to four examples of what was found in the computer drives.
Mr Hill said: "They are terrorist videos and manuals. The videos contain practical information on the making of suicide vests, improvised explosive devices or bombs, and the manuals entitled The Mujahideen Terrorist Handbook and The Mujahideen Explosives Handbook.
"Amongst this was material which suggested support for the cause of al Qaida in Iraq and in Afghanistan, also purported justifications for martyrdom operations and material encouraging jihad to be waged around the world."
Nearly 200,000 files were found on the hard drives, said Mr Hill. They contained "wide-ranging instructions on how to carry out military activity through the use of bombs, guerrilla warfare, firearms and improvised explosive devices", he added.
The court was shown parts of one video giving "detailed instructions on how to construct a ball-bearing suicide vest" including footage of a "test detonation".
Also found was an al Qaida manual of more than 1,000 pages featuring instructions on "intelligence and counter intelligence" as well as bomb making, with diagrams and plans.

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa
The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
