UK terror suspects remanded
LONDON, England -- Three men have been remanded in custody for four weeks after appearing in court in London charged with terrorist offences. The trio were charged with possessing "articles for the preparation, instigation and commission of terrorism acts" and are understood to be accused of having fake documents.
Rabah Chekaj-Bias, 21, and 33-year-old Karim Kadouri, both from north London, and Rabah Kadre, in his mid 30s and of no fixed abode, appeared at Bow Street magistrates court in central London on Monday. All are north African Muslims. Little was said at the 15 minute-hearing regarding the details of the charges. The three were among six people arrested in north London on November 9. Two of the other three were subsequently released on police bail and no further action was being taken against the final man. The arrests came to light on Saturday night, six days after those charged had already appeared in court and been remanded in custody. Unemployed Chekat-Bais had already appeared at Bow Street last Monday and Kadris and Kadouri, also both unemployed, appeared in court on Tuesday. The case attracted publicity following a report in Britain's Sunday Times newspaper which said the men were plotting to release poison gas, possibly cyanide, during rush hour on a train in the London Underground, known as "the Tube." But no mention of this was made at the Bow Street court hearing on Monday. On Sunday the UK's Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott denied knowledge of a plot to gas passengers on the rail system. He added that the police had no evidence the men possessed either bombs or gas. Scotland Yard police have refused to comment on the Sunday Times' report.
