| Fifth man charged over ricin plot |
| 2003-01-21 |
| A fifth man has been charged with developing or producing a chemical weapon, following the discovery of the poison ricin at a London flat two weeks ago. Nasreddine Fekhadji was one of several people arrested during a series of raids in north London on 5 January. Mr Fekhadji, 36, of Fonthill Road in Finsbury Park, north London, was originally charged with forgery. But two further charges were added during a court appearance at Bow Street Magistrates on Monday. As well as a charge under the Chemical Weapons Act, he was also accused of possessing articles for terrorist purposes. He was remanded in custody ahead of a court appearance at the Old Bailey on 27 January. If found guilty under the Chemical Weapons Act he could face life in jail. Is Abu Hamza gone yet? They won't really be serious until he's gone... |
