Terror Charges: Three Men 'Planned Beheading'

Three men arrested three days before Remembrance Sunday had planned to behead a member of public in the UK, a court has been told.

Nadir Ali Sayed, 21, from Hounslow, 19-year-old Yousaf Shah Syed, from High Wycombe, and Haseeb Hamayoon, aged 27, from Hayes, West London, appeared before Westminster magistrates on Thursday afternoon.

They are each "charged with the intention of committing acts of terrorism, or engaged in conduction or preparation of terrorism, contrary to section 5 of the terrorism act".

They were remanded in custody in a 25-minute hearing to appear next at the Old Bailey on 4 December.

None of them made an application for bail.

A fourth man, arrested in Uxbridge, was released on 15 November with no further action.
