Four men have been charged with terror-related offences following raids by the North West Counter Terrorism Unit, Greater Manchester Police have said. Four men have been charged with terror-related offences after raids last week, Greater Manchester Police have said.
Officers arrested five people last on suspicion of inciting terrorism overseas. Israr Malik, 21, of Fallowfield, Manchester, has been charged with intending to commit acts of terrorism, namely violent jihad.
Raids took place in Manchester's Longsight, Fallowfield and Levenshulme districts, Stalybridge, Deane in Bolton and a hotel near Heathrow Airport. Three others face charges of intending to assist others to commit terrorism.
Police had been given seven days to question the men, aged 21 to 62. Raids took place in Manchester's Longsight, Fallowfield and Levenshulme districts, Stalybridge, Deane, in Bolton, and a hotel near Heathrow.
The other men to be charged are: Matthew Newton, 27, of Stalybridge, Munir Farooqi, 52, of Longsight, and Haris Farooqi, 26, of Levenshulme.
All four are due to appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on Monday.
A fifth man, aged 62, from Deane, was released without charge. He is understood to be a Muslim cleric.
Officers from the North West Counter Terrorism Unit detained the men last Monday in what was described as a "low-key operation".
About 120 people took part in a protest over the raids outside Greater Manchester Police's headquarters on Sunday.
A force spokesman said it recognised the community had some concerns regarding the investigation.
