FOUR Midland terror suspects have appeared in court charged with plotting attacks on London targets in the run-up to Christmas.

The men, all from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, were part of a group of nine arrested following a series of dawn raids by MI5 and West Midlands Police in December.

Nazam Hussain, 25, Usman Khan, 19, Mohibur Rahman, 26, and Abdul Shahjahan, 26, are all charged with conspiring to cause explosions.
