British Police Charge 9 on Terror Offenses​

LONDON — A week after a series of coordinated raids in three cities, the British police said on Monday that they had charged 9 of the 12 men they arrested in what seemed to be a sign that Europe’s concerns over potential terrorist attacks are spreading.

Three of the 12 men were released without being charged, the West Midlands Police said in a statement shortly before the men appeared in court in London, accused of “engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism.”

The nine men, five of whom were said in British news reports to be of Bangladeshi origin, were accused of offenses including reconnoitering targets, conspiracy to cause explosions and testing incendiary material. On Monday, Judge Howard Riddle ordered all of them to be held in prison until a further hearing on Jan. 14.

The arrests a week ago came shortly after the police in Germany moved against two Salafist networks suspected of seeking the imposition of an Islamic state. The arrests earlier this month were seen as reflecting growing concern in Berlin over the radical messages of some Islamic groups.

On Saturday, prosecutors in the Netherlands said they had arrested 12 Somalis suspected of plotting a terrorist attack.

In recent days, European concerns over terrorism have also seemed to mount after a suicide attack in Sweden by a British resident, a number of terrorism arrests in Spain and France and other alarms in Germany over fears of a terrorism attack modeled on the 2008 Mumbai killings. The alerts have been given added weight by a warning in October from the State Department in Washington, cautioning of reports of a planned attack in a European city.

In London the men charged with terrorism offenses, ages 19 to 28, were from three areas of Britain: Cardiff in Wales, Stoke-on-Trent in the English Midlands and London. The charges related to various periods from Oct. 1 to Dec. 20 — the day of their arrests.

Allegations against them, the police said, included downloading and researching material from the Internet. The nine men were said to have agreed on potential targets, although those have not been made known.

The West Midlands Police said those charged from Cardiff were Gurukanth Desai, 28; Omar Sharif Latif, 26; and Abdul Malik Miah, 24.

The London residents charged were Mohammed Moksudur Rahman Chowdhury, 20; and Shah Mohammed Lutfar Rahman, 28.

Those charged from Stoke-on-Trent were identified as Nazam Hussain, 25; Usman Khan, 19; Mohibur Rahman, 26; and Abul Bosher Mohammed Shahjahan, 26.

Sue Hemming, the head of the Counter Terrorism Division of the Crown Prosecution Service, said in a statement that she was satisfied that there was sufficient evidence “for a realistic prospect of conviction, and it is in the public interest that these men should be charged with these offenses.”

When the men were arrested, the BBC said they were linked to an investigation, led by the MI5 domestic security service, involving Al Qaeda within Britain. The suspected plot was said to be in its early stages.

Britain’s current assessment of the threat of a terrorist attack stands at severe, its second-highest level, meaning that an attack is seen as “highly likely,” according to the MI5 Web site.

There is no hindu among the 9 arrested.


Infact the so called Gurukanth Desai is ethnic Bengali and Muslim. Mr Desai is reported to have earlier used the Bengali Muslim name Abdul Mannan Miah. That Mr Desai’s brother is called Abdul Malik Miah lends this credence.
