A 21-year-old member of the British army has been charged with terror and explosives offences over two incidents in Staffordshire in August 2021 and January this year, the Metropolitan police have said. Daniel Abed Khalif, of Beaconside, Stafford, is accused of eliciting or attempting to elicit information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism in August 2021. He is also accused of placing an article with the intention of inducing fears that it would explode or ignite and cause personal injury or damage to property in connection with an incident earlier this month. He remains in police custody and will appear at Westminster magistrates court on Saturday.
