(Newcastle Chronicle) A Newcastle man accused of plotting a terrorist bomb attack in the UK has appeared in court charged with inciting an atrocity in Germany.
Fatah Mohammed Abdullah, 33, was arrested in December last year after he allegedly bought “explosive pre-cursors” online.
Last week, he was charged with inciting two people to commit a terror attack in Germany following a joint investigation between UK and German police.
Abdullah is said to have provided assistance and encouragement to the pair in messages using the encrypted Telegram app.
The charge, under Section 59 of the Terrorism Act 2000, states that he incited another person to drive a car into crowds, attack people with a meat cleaver, and set off bombs outside the UK between April 9 and December 11 last year.
