Shabaaz Hussain, the suspected terrorist fundraiser who appeared in London's Westminster Magistrate court on Monday, was linked back to Bangladeshi men in Somalia.
He was accused of sending money to three Bangladeshi nationals in the east African country between January 1 and October 22 last year. It was said the money was used for 'al-Qaeda-inspired' terrorism training.
Shabaaz, 27, from Jamaica Street, Stepney in Tower Hamlets, east London, spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth at the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in central London.
The charge stated that between January 1, 2009 and October 22 last year, he was engaged in the criminal conduct with the intention of committing an act of terrorism, or advising, coaching and helping others to engage for such an act. He was remanded in custody to appear before the Old Bailey Court in London on July 15.
