3 sent to custody in air terror plot

District Judge Nicholas Evans, presiding in the City of Westminster Magistrates8217; Court, denied Hussain8217;s application for bail. The other two suspects did not seek bail.

The court first set a further hearing on September 4 at the Central Criminal Court, but later amended the date to September 18.

Eleven people have now been charged on those two counts. Four others are accused of lesser offences, including withholding from police information about a planned terrorist act.

Of the 25 people originally arrested in raids on August 10, 15 have been charged. Five remain in custody without charge and five have been released.

Detectives must decide whether to charge, release or seek permission from a judge to get more time to question the remaining five.

British law allows the police to hold suspected terrorists for a maximum of 28 days, subject to court approval.

On Tuesday, a magistrate ordered Nabeel8217;s brother, Mehran Hussain, held in custody until September 19 in connection with the alleged plot. Their other brother Umair Hussain is also in custody charged with failing to disclose information.
