(KUNA) -- A 25-year-old woman has been charged with two terror offences, police said Monday. Mehreen Haji, of Manchester, northern England, is accused of two counts of entering into funding arrangements for the purposes of terrorism. Haji was arrested by Greater Manchester Polices Anti-Terrorist Unit on September 19 as part of an ongoing investigation. She will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court, in central London, tomorrow, the police added.It is alleged that on May 11, she entered into an arrangement as a result of which 2,005 pounds was made available to Habib Ahmed, knowing or having reasonable suspicion that it would, or might be used for the purposes of terrorism, contrary to the UK Terrorism Act 2000. She faces a similar charge that she provided 1,999 pounds to Ahmed last May 12.
Ahmed, 26, also from Manchester, appeared before Westminster Magistrates Court last Thursday accused of collecting information about potential terrorist targets and travelling to Pakistan earlier this year for terrorism training. Ahmed, who was held by police for the full 28-day detention period allowed under new terror laws, was remanded in custody until this Thursday.
Haji was detained by officers following a raid at a house in Radcliffe, Bury, northern England. Police said they were looking at "terrorist financing, travel patterns and individuals attending terrorist training camps abroad". They said they were examining suspected links to banned radical Islamic group Al-Muhajiroun. The raid was linked to earlier raids on September 3 when two men were arrested but later released without charge. None of the arrests are linked to the alleged terror plot to blow up transatlantic airliners or the July 7 bombings last year, the police said.
