“...eight were charged with conspiracy to murder and preparing acts of terrorism...”
a 17-year-old was charged with possessing articles useful for acts of terrorism; and two were charged with failing to disclose material assistance in preventing an act of terrorism. Nine of the 11 people charged are from London.
