LONDON: British prosecutors have charged two men with trying to join the self-styled Islamic State (IS) extremist group in Syria.
The Crown Prosecution Service said Tuesday that 24-year-old Junead Ahmed Khan and his 22-year-old uncle Shazib Ahmed Khan have been charged with trying to join the extremist group.
They were arrested last week in Luton, north of London.
A third man who had been arrested on suspicion of terrorism at the same time has been released without being charged.
British officials say some 700 Britons have traveled to Syria in support of the militant group.

ISIS is a Jewish conspiracy to divide and destroy the Muslim Ummah.

Words fail me. Banish the individuals concerned and their families from the UK, never mind the HR Act.

@Amin What evidence do you have of that? It's plain wrong and futile to point fingers. If you don't have anything worthwhile to add to the forum then it's ok to keep quiet....no one will penalise you!

@Tariq Mahmood - UK is a democratic country and thus the government needs to apply the principles of natural justice.
