(BBC) Two brothers filled in application forms to join the Islamic State group in Afghanistan, a trial has heard.
Muhammad Abdul Haleem Heyder Khan, 21, and 18-year-old Muhammad Hamzah Heyder Khan both deny preparing for acts of terrorism.
The prosecution at Birmingham Crown Court said they became radicalised in 2022 and planned to travel to Afghanistan to join the group.
They were arrested at their home in Ward End, Birmingham, last year.
Opening the crown’s case against them on Wednesday, prosecutor Harpreet Sandhu KC said: “Over the course of 2022 these two brothers became increasingly radicalised.”
