Britain Jails 3 After Terror Raids

Police charged three men with a variety of terrorism offenses after searches turned up a recipe for rocket propellant in the home of one of them and images of Washington, D.C., in another, authorities said Friday.

Waseem Mughal and Younis Tsouli, both 22, and Tariq Al-Daour, 19, made a brief appearance at Bow St. Magistrates Court in London, speaking only to confirm their names and ages. Judge Daphne Wickham ordered the three, all from the London area, to remain in custody until another court appearance Nov. 18.

Scotland Yard said the arrests were not linked to the July suicide bombings in London, which killed 56 people, including the four attackers.

Mughal was charged with 10 offenses, including conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to cause an explosion, conspiracy to obtain money by deception, fundraising, and possession of articles for terrorist purposes.

One of the charges alleges that police found a DVD in Mughal's bedroom titled "Martyrdom Operations Vest." He is also charged with possessing a piece of paper with information about a recipe for rocket propellant and guidance on causing an explosion.

Police also allegedly found a piece of paper in his home with the Arabic phrase: "Welcome to Jihad."

Tsouli was charged with eight offenses similar to Mughal. Al-Daour was charged with three offenses.

One of the charges against Tsouli alleges that a video stored on the hard drive of a computer in his bedroom showed how to make a car bomb, while another showed a number of places in Washington. The charge sheet did not name the places.
