Two men have been charged with terrorism and firearms offences after being stopped in Dover, police said.

Mohommod Hassin Nawaz, 29, and Hamza Nawaz, 22, both of Stratford, east London are accused of attending a terrorist training camp in Syria.

The pair were stopped by police at the Kent seaport after travelling from Calais in France, a Metropolitan police spokesman said.

They will appear at Westminster magistrates court on Monday.

The brothers were stopped by police in the early hours of last Monday and were arrested on suspicion of being involved in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism under the Terrorism Act.

They have both been charged with conspiring to attend "a place used for terrorist training knowing" and being in possession of a stash of rifle ammunition.

Mohommod Hassin Nawaz is also charged with being in possession of a laptop computer containing "information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".

Their arrests triggered raids on a property in east London, as well as two vehicles.

A 37-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman who were arrested on suspicion of terror offences in Essex on Wednesday have been released without charge.

Police also searched at a further address in east London and another in Lancashire but no arrests were made.
