London man in court on terror funding charges

A suspected terrorist fundraiser appeared in court on Monday charged with providing money or property for terrorism purposes. Shabaaz Hussain, 27, from east London, is accused of committing the offences on April 12, July 6 and September 3 last year. Hussain is also accused of playing a part in preparing for acts of terrorism between January 1, 2009 and October 22, 2010, though there was no suggestion these were to be carried out on UK soil. In total, he faces five charges under the Terrorism Act 2000 and 2006. Hussain, who appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court, in central London, was remanded in custody until July 15.
