A 37-year-old man has been charged with directing al-Qaeda, inciting an act of terrorism overseas, membership of al-Qaeda, a proscribed organisation, and four charges relating to the financing of terrorism.

Sounds like quite a big fish.

I wonder if this is the result of intell gathered in Afganistan?

"Sounds like quite a big fish."

Yes, quite big. Good on the Leicestershire police and the Metropolitan police's anti-terrorist branch....

I was thinking this may be related to the recent action by the UN (ugh!) that declared al-Qua'eta a terror organization. (or something to that effect) That declaration may have given the police the legal latitude to move on these folks?
