13th person charged in Britain over alleged terror attacks

LONDON (AFP) - A 13th person was charged in connection with the foiled alleged terror plot to blow up US-bound passenger jets from Britain, a police spokesman told AFP.

Nabeel Hussain was one of 25 people arrested since police staged pre-dawn raids on August 10 in connection with the plot. Five have since been released without charge.

Police also have warrants to quiz the remaining seven until Wednesday. Under British anti-terror laws, suspects can be detained for up to 28 days without being charged, subject to regular court approval.

Hussain is the ninth of the terror suspects to be hit with the most serious charge of conspiracy to murder. He will appear at City of Westminster Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

"Officers from the Metropolitan Police Service Anti-Terrorist Branch have this afternoon charged a man in connection with the anti-terrorist operation overnight on August 9-10, 2006," the spokesman said.

Hussain acted "with the intention of committing acts of terrorism", intending "to smuggle the component parts of improvised explosive devices onto aircraft and assemble and detonate them on board."

Umair Hussain, 24, was last week charged under anti-terror legislation for failing to disclose information about Nabeel, his brother.
