Two Walsall Men Charged With Helping To Fund Terrorism

    Two Walsall men have appeared in court this morning (Thursday 24 March) charged with helping to fund terrorism.

    Maruf Uddin, aged 26 an accountant from Earl Street, pleaded not guilty at Westminster Magistrates Court to one count of arranging funds or property for purposes of terrorism under Sec17 of the Terrorism Act 2000.
    Mohammed Atiqur Khan, aged 27, a warehouse distributer from Buckle Close, offered no plea to two charges of arranging funds or property for purposes of terrorism.

    Both have been bailed with strict conditions imposed by the court to reappear at The Old Bailey Criminal Court on Friday 1 April.

    Both men were originally arrested by officers from West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit in January this year. Two other men from Walsall, also arrested as part of the same investigation, are currently remanded in custody awaiting court proceedings.

    Mohammed Iqbal Hussain, aged 25 from Castle Road, Walsall, and Mohammed Suyaubur Rohaman, aged 32 of the same address, were earlier charged with four counts of funding terrorism and one count of funding terrorism respectively.
