An Edmonton man arrested in a terrorism investigation in the United Kingdom appeared in a London court today.
Khaled Hussein, who is 28, was charged under the Terrorism Act for allegedly being a member of a proscribed organization in the U.K.
He was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport last week.
Hussein is charged alongside a 56-year-old British preacher, Anjem Choudary, who was allegedly directing a terrorist organization and addressing meetings to encourage support for a radical group since June 2022.
Prosecutors say the Edmontonian worked online with Choudary to provide a platform for the views of the radical group al-Muhajiroun.
London Metropolitan Police say both men have been remanded in custody and their next scheduled court appearance on Aug. 4.
