An 18-year-old from Harrow has been charged with ten terrorism-related offences and has appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court. Sudesh Mamoor Faraz Amman, of Brancker Road, was arrested under the Terrorism Act by armed officers conducting a search in north London last Friday (May 18). He has been accused of possessing documents on 'how to make a bomb in your kitchen', 'bloody Brazilian knife fighting techniques' and 'making plastic explosives from bleach'. He has also been charged by the Metropolitan Police for allegedly sending an Al-Qaeda magazine to members of a WhatsApp group.
Amman will face seven counts of making a record of information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism and three counts of disseminating terrorist publications. Mr Amman indicated that he would be pleading not guilty to all counts. He was remanded in custody to appear at the Old Bailey for a preliminary hearing on 8th June.
Another teenager, a 19-year-old woman, was arrested in south London on Wednesday, May 23rd, in connection with the same investigation. Further in this case, a young man aged 18 was also arrested in Bishop's Stortford on the same day. Both have been bailed to return to a south London police station on a date in late June.
