Excerpt:
Three men from Birmingham have appeared in court accused of plotting to attack members of the English Defence League.
Jewel Uddin, 26, Omar Mohammed Khan, 27, and Mohammed Hasseen, 23, all from Sparkhill, appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court on terror charges.
They were arrested in raids last week after police stopped a car on the M1 and found guns, knives, machetes and a home-made explosive device.
