The ring's 21-year-old leader, Dylan Earl, pleaded guilty last month to aggravated arson, becoming the first person convicted under the new National Security Act passed last year to combat hostile foreign activity.
On Tuesday, a jury at London's Old Bailey found three more men, Nii Kojo Mansah and Jakim Rose, 23, and Ugnius Asmen, 20, guilty of the arson, although they had denied the charges.
The fourth defendant in the case, 61-year-old Paul English, was acquitted.
Two other defendants, Dmitrijus Paulauskas, 23, and Ashton Evans, 20, denied knowing about the terrorist attacks but failing to report them. Evans was found guilty on one count and acquitted on the other, while Paulauskas was acquitted entirely.
The convictions are the latest in a series of cases involving Moscow's malign activities in Britain. In May, six Bulgarian nationals were convicted of spying for Russia.
