Tiptoeing around the issues like a thief in the night, the BBC reports that a “youth” and a “man” have been charged with conspiracy to commit mass murder: Pair charged after terror probe.
A youth, 16, and a man, 21, have been charged with conspiracy to murder and conspiring to cause public nuisance by using poisons or explosives.
The man, from Bradford, was arrested at Manchester airport. He is also accused of possessing a computer hard drive for a purpose connected with terrorism.
He and the 16-year-old, from Dewsbury, will appear at Bow Street Magistrates’ Court in central London on Thursday.
The man and the youth were arrested under terrorism laws last week.
The police are apologizing to the religious community of the “youth” and the “man” for any inconvenience or humiliation that their attempt to prevent mass murder may have caused.
Police say they are aware operations “of this nature” can cause public concern and have been meeting religious and civic leaders in Dewsbury and Bradford to keep them informed of events.
