War on Terror - UK students charged with terror offences


Two teenage students were remanded in custody yesterday [Thursday] on terrorism charges at Bow Street Magistrates Court in London. Irfan Raja, 18, from Ilford, Essex, and 19-year-old Awaab Iqbal, from Bradford, are accused of making a record of information likely to be useful to a terrorist. But lawyers for the pair indicated both would be pleading not guilty - counsel for Mr Iqbal said the charges had "absolutely no foundation". Senior District Judge Timothy Workman remanded the pair in custody until 16 March and told them they would face a committal hearing on 6 April. [BBCPosted by Picasa
