They were arrested when counter-terrorism police officers raided their homes on December 19, last year.

The men, both Kurdish Iraqis, are charged with engaging in the preparation of an act of terrorism.

During a hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London last month it was alleged that they are accused of possessing ‘low explosive black powder’.
