LONDON. — Two brothers arrested entering Britain at the port of Dover appeared in a London court yesterday charged with attending a terror training camp in Syria. Mohommod Hassin Nawaz (29) and Hamza Nawaz (22) were arrested on September 16 at the southeast English port, having made the short ferry crossing from Calais in France.

Police found five rounds of ammunition for an AK-type gun allegedly in their possession. The brothers appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court charged with conspiring together to attend a place used for terrorist training.

They are also charged with possessing the rifle ammunition without authority.

The brothers spoke only to confirm their names, dates of birth and their address in Stratford, east London, which played host to the 2012 Olympic Games.

It is alleged they drove from Stratford to Calais, then flew from Lyon in southeastern France to Turkey, before travelling over the border into Syria. — AFP.
