British police charged two men and a woman on Saturday with a plot to fund terrorism and said one of them belonged to a banned Lashkar-e-Taiba. Britain's Metropolitan Police said Mohammed Ajmal Khan, 30, Farzana Khan, 41, and Palvinder Singh, 29, had all been charged with conspiracy to provide money and other property for use in terrorism.
Mohammed Ajmal Khan was also charged with directing the activities of a terrorist organisation, and with membership of a banned group named as Lashkar-e-Taiba.
LT, which fights Indian occupation of Kashmir, is listed as a terrorist organisation by the European Union, the United States and the United Nations, and was banned by Pakistan in 2002.
The three were arrested by anti-terrorism police earlier this week in Coventry, a central English industrial city with a large south-Asian population.
London's Metropolitan Police said the three suspects would appear in custody at Bow Street Magistrates Court in central London on March 7.
