Police in Northern Ireland have tonight charged a foreign national with offences connected to an international terror investigation.
"A 30-year-old man has this afternoon been charged with two counts of making funds available to others for the purposes of terrorism," a PSNI spokesman said. The man was due in court in Belfast tomorrow, the spokesman added.
Police confirmed the man was a foreign national but declined to give further details. BBC radio said he was from the Philippines.
He was arrested in Belfast last Friday with a woman, also a foreign national. She was released without charge yesterday.
In November last year, police in Northern Ireland arrested an Algerian man on suspicion of having links with al-Qaeda. He is in custody awaiting trial on charges of receiving bomb-making instructions and having "information of use to terrorists".
