Man in Court for Having Soldier's Name and Address
Tue 29 Mar 2005
By Nick Allen, PA

A 21-year-old man will appear in court today charged under the Terrorism Act after he was allegedly found in possession of the name and home address of a British soldier.

Abu Baker Mansha was arrested in Thamesmead, south-east London, five days ago and was charged by detectives last night.

He will appear at Bow Street Magistrates Court in central London today.

Mansha was charged under Section 58 (1b) of the Terrorism Act, which deals with the collection of information that could be useful to terrorists.

It is alleged he was found with a piece of paper which had the soldier’s name and address written on it.

The charge says he “possessed a document, namely a piece of paper, containing the name and home address of a UK soldier – information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism”.
