Two British Muslims linked to Woolwich murder suspect Michael Adebolajo have appeared in court  charged with terror offences.

Ibrahim Abdullah-Hassan, 28, of Carr Road in Walthamstow, and Shah Jalal Hussain, 31, of Cannon Street Road in Whitechapel, appeared at the Old Bailey over claims they published lectures calling for a holy war against the West.

It is alleged the pair disseminated terrorist publications and encouraged terrorism by publishing the videos and texts.

Abdullah-Hassan, also known as Abu Nusaybah was arrested moments after he was interviewed on BBC's Newsnight programme claiming that his friend, Adebolajo, had been offered a job by MI5.

They will next appear at the Old Bailey on October 31 for a plea and case management hearing.
