2 in UK court charged with preparing an act of terrorism
LONDON - Two people have appeared in a London court charged with a variety of terrorism-related offenses.
Munir Hassan Mohammed is charged with preparing an act of terrorism, being a member of the Islamic State extremist group, and possessing instructions about how to build an explosive device inside a mobile phone. The 35-year-old did not enter a plea at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Rowaida El Hassan, 32, faces similar charges but is not accused of Islamic State membership. She also did not enter a plea. Both are being held pending their next court hearing.
They were arrested with four other people earlier in December. The other four were released without charge.
