"Man charged with plotting kidnap"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A man has been charged with plotting to kidnap and kill a UK soldier, following last week's anti-terror raids.

Parviz Khan, 36, is accused of devising the plot between 1 November last year and his arrest on 31 January.

He also faces charges, along with four others, of supplying equipment and funding for a terrorist act.

The five men, who were arrested during a police operation in Birmingham, will appear before City of Westminster magistrates in London later.

Additional charge

Of nine men arrested in the raids, three have been released without charge and another remains in custody in Coventry.

The five have all been charged with offences under the Terrorism Act 2006 and the Terrorism Act 2000.

Amjad Mahmood, 31, Mohammed Irfan, 30, Zahoor Iqbal, 29, Hamid Elasmar, 43, and Mr Khan have been charged with supplying equipment and funding for a terrorist act between 30 March last year and their arrest.

Mr Mahmood faces an additional charge of failing to disclose information of material assistance in preventing an act of terrorism."
