A British citizen wanted on terrorism charges in the US has been arrested in the UK under anti-terror laws, Scotland Yard has said. Babar Ahmad, 30, is being held in London on a US extradition warrant.

The warrant alleges that via websites and e-mail he solicited people to provide funds to further terrorist acts in Chechnya and Afghanistan.

Ahmad, whose arrest is not thought to be linked to 12 terror arrests earlier in the week, is due in court on Friday.

Websites allegedly used by Ahmad, a resident of south London, are based in the US.

The warrant also alleges that between the same dates - 1998 and 2001, he "agreed with US citizens based in the USA and others" a plan to raise funds for terrorist purposes.
