Terror raid pair charged with conspiracy to murder
By Fiona Evans
A Bradford man and a 16-year-old boy will appear in court tomorrow charged with conspiracy to murder under the Terrorism Act. Aabid Khan, 21, and the Dewsbury boy, who cannot be named, also face charges of conspiracy to cause public nuisance by use of poisons and or explosives to cause disruption, fear or injury.
Khan, who is unemployed, is also charged with possession of a computer hard drive for a purpose connected with the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism.
The pair were being taken to London under tight security tonight to appear before Bow Street Magistrates' Court in London tomorrow.

Khan was arrested at Manchester Airport on Tuesday, June 6, as he arrived on a flight from Pakistan.
His arrest was followed by a series of raids at two houses in Hanover Square, Manningham, and one at Otley Road, Barkerend, at two houses in Dewsbury and at the PC Vision cyber caf in Manningham Lane.
The charges follow a week of questioning of Khan and the boy by specialist anti-terrorist officers at undisclosed police stations in West Yorkshire.
Earlier this week, police confirmed to the Telegraph & Argus that another Bradford man was being sought in connection with the continuing inquiry which has been linked to the arrest of 17 members of a suspected al-Quaida-style terrorist cell in Canada.
Following the announcement that prosecutions were being brought against the pair, West Yorkshire Police thanked the public for their "continuing co-operation and understanding during the policing operation over the past week".
