Newcastle man appears in court charged with inciting terror attack in Germany

The 33-year-old British-Iranian is accused of inciting someone to drive into a crowd, attack people and use explosives to kill.

A man accused of plotting a terrorist bomb attack in the UK has appeared in court charged with inciting an atrocity in Germany.
Fatah Mohammed Abdullah, 33, was arrested in December last year after he allegedly bought "explosive pre-cursors" online.
Last week, he was charged with inciting two people to commit a terror attack in Germany following a joint investigation between UK and German police.
Abdullah is said to have provided assistance and encouragement to the pair in messages using the encrypted Telegram app.
The charge states that he incited another person to drive a car into crowds, attack people with a meat cleaver, and set off bombs outside the UK between 9 April and 11 December last year.
Abdullah appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court via video-link from Belmarsh prison on Wednesday, speaking only to confirm his name, address, date of birth and that he is a British Iranian.
Abdullah will next appear at the Old Bailey on 1 March.
