TWO men were remanded in custody today after appearing in court by video link on terror charges.

Rizwan Ditta, 29, and Bilal Mohammed, 26, both of Halifax, West Yorkshire, will next appear before City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in London via another video hearing on March 6.

Ditta, of Royd Terrace, previously faced 13 charges under the Terrorism Act.

Two fresh charges under the Act were added yesterday. Ditta is accused of possessing several computer files including one called Hamas Bomb and instructions.

It is alleged he had files in circumstances which gave rise to a reasonable suspicion that they were for a purpose connected with the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism.

Mohammed, of Thrum Hall Close, is accused of two charges.

He is accused of having without reasonable excuse a record containing information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing an act of terrorism.

He had video clips and a computer file including one called The Manhattan Raid, showing potential terrorist training methods, the court was previously told.

It is also claimed he possessed a record containing information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing an act of terrorism, said at a previous hearing to be an al Qaida training cell.
