British police on Sunday said they had charged six men who were arrested last week in Birmingham as part of a major counter-terrorism operation targeting extremists. Four men were charged with preparing for an act of terrorism, and two more with failing to disclose information, West Midlands police said. One of the men charged with failing to disclose information was also charged with terrorist fundraising.
Unarmed officers detained seven men, all from Birmingham, last week. The officers arrested six suspects at or close to their homes in Birmingham, central England, between 11:30pm on September 18 and 1am on the following day. They arrested the seventh man on Thursday.
