Woman charged with terror offence

1 Nov 2008


A woman has been charged with a terror offence, two weeks after police raided addresses in Manchester and Holland.

Houria Chahed Chentouf, of Reynell Drive, Longsight, Manchester, is charged with possessing a computer memory stick, allegedly for terror-related purposes.

The 40-year-old was charged under the Terrorism Act 2000 with possessing an article which gave rise to suspicions that "the possession was for a purpose connected with the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism".

She is due to appear before City of Westminster Magistrates Court in London.

The woman was arrested on the evening of October 17 by Greater Manchester Police and remanded into custody for questioning.

Her arrest came after police searched addresses in Manchester and Holland.

Police said she possessed documents which had prompted an investigation by British and Dutch authorities.
