 British man appears in court charged with being member of al Shabaab


A British man appeared in a London court on Thursday charged with having ​trained and fought as a commando with ‌al Shabaab militants in Somalia over 15 years ago.


Jermaine Grant, 43, is charged with six terrorism offences committed ​between 2007 and 2010, including three counts ​of attending an al Shabaab commando training ⁠camp in Kismayu in Somalia.


Prosecutor Carl Kelvin told ​London's Westminster Magistrates Court that Grant was accused ​of being a platoon leader who had taken part in a number of battles and other fighting in ​Somalia, Reuters reported.


Grant, who appeared in court flanked by two ​police officers, has also been charged with possessing an AK-47 ‌rifle ⁠during "the battle of Karan" and directing a group involved in terrorism.


He was remanded in custody for seven days while consent is obtained from ​the attorney general ​for the ⁠prosecution.


"These are serious charges and come as the result of a ​long-running investigation," Acting Commander Kris Wright of ​London's ⁠counter terrorism police said.


"This case shows we will always pursue anyone suspected of being involved in ⁠terrorist ​activity, no matter where in ​the world or how long ago it is alleged to have ​taken place."
