He will be the sixth man to appear in court following last week's raids. The other five men appeared in court yesterday charged with offences under anti-terrorism laws.

Eight suspects were picked up in a series of dawn raids on Wednesday last week over an alleged plot to behead a Muslim soldier.

A ninth suspect was stopped on a motorway in the city several hours later.
