Police have charged four men with terrorism-related offences after an operation by counter-terrorism officers in northwest England earlier this month.

Israr Hussain Malik was charged with intending to commit acts of terrorism. Three others - Munir Ahmed Farooqi, Haris Farooqi, and Matthew Newton - were charged with intending to help others commit acts of terrorism.

All four were to appear at City of Westminster Magistrates Court in London on Monday, a police statement said. The charges follow a counter-terrorism operation on November 16.

A 62-year-old man was released without charge, police added.
