Police charge four with supporting terrorism

Police have charged four foreigners with supporting terrorism. It is the first time the Czech police have ever investigated specific individuals on terrorism related charges. The organised crime division believes the men, three Russians and one Moldavian who were detained last year, falsified documents for the radical Dagestani organisation Shariat Jamaat. Police say the suspects made high-quality forgeries that were very difficult to spot and were able to create entirely new identities. If convicted they face up to ten years’ imprisonment.
