British authorities have charged a 29-year-old man with terror offenses following a series of arrests by officers investigating the support of fighting in war zones.

Greater Manchester Police say Jamshed Javeed was charged with intending to assist others to commit acts of terrorism and engaging in conduct in preparation to doing so.

He was one of four people arrested on Tuesday and will appear in court in London today. The three others remain in police custody.

British authorities have become increasingly concerned over the movement of nationals to Syria to participate in the war against President Bashar Assad.
