British police yesterday charged a 29-year-old man with three offences under the Terrorism Act while a UK court separately dismissed charges against two others due to a lack of evidence.

Sohail Anjum Qureshi from London was detained at Heathrow Airport on October 18 and arrested after police found articles they allege were to be used to commit terrorist acts, or assist others to do the same.
In a statement yesterday, Metropolitan Police accused Qureshi of preparing to take to Islamabad, Pakistan articles including ?9,000 ($17,000) in cash, a night vision scope, two metal batons, two sleeping bags, two rucksacks and a disc and an external hard drive containing data, including manuals detailing combat techniques and a copy of the Mujahideen Poison Handbook.
At the same time, two brothers who had been charged with involvement in the alleged plot to blow up transatlantic airliners this summer were unconditionally freed yesterday after a judge found there was insufficient evidence to put them on trial and therefore no case against them.
Mehran Hussain, 24, and Umair Hussain, 25, both of Chingford, East London, were discharged by District Judge Quentin Purdy following a committal hearing at the City of Westminster Magistrates? Court in central London.
The two men were arrested in August with 22 others across London and the Midlands and charged with failing to disclose information that might have been ‘of material assistance’ in preventing their younger brother, Nabeel, who is 22, from carrying out a terrorist act.
Nabeel Hussain, is one of 11 people still facing charges of conspiracy to murder and the attempted smuggling of explosives onboard aircraft with the intention of detonating them.
