A 32-year-old man has been charged with Syria-related terror offence, the Metropolitan police have said.

Patrick Kabele, of Willesden, north-west London, will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday accused of attempting to travel to Syria, contrary to the Terrorism Act, Scotland Yard said.

Kabele was arrested on Wednesday in Brent, north London, by officers from the Metropolitan Police's Counter-Terrorism Command.
