Two to face terror charges

A MAN and a woman from Oldham have been charged under the Terrorism Act.

Mohammed Sajid Khan (33) and Shasta Khan (37), of Foster Street, have each been charged with engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism between August 10, 2010 and July 24, 2011.

They also face three counts of, on July 22, 2011, possessing a record of information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.

They were today due to appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London.

The charges follow an investigation by the North West Counter Terrorism Unit.

But police say there is no evidence to suggest any communities in Greater Manchester or the surrounding areas are at immediate risk in connection with the alleged offences under investigation.
