United Kingdom: More Charged in Chemical Investigation British authorities yesterday charged three North African men with chemical weapons offenses, Reuters reported (see GSN, Jan. 27). Kamel Bourgass, 27, Mouloud Bouhrama, 31, and Samir Asli, 29, were arrested last month in connection with the Jan. 5 discovery of ricin in a London apartment. The three were charged with having “articles in circumstances which gave rise to a reasonable suspicion that their possession was for a purpose connected with the commission, instigation or preparation of an act of terrorism.” The men did not apply for bail and were remanded in custody until early March (Reuters, Feb. 5). British police today detained six men and a woman in the latest sweep of antiterrorism raids linked to the chemical weapons investigation, the London Guardian reported. Authorities arrested two men in Edinburgh, one man in Manchester, a man and a woman in Glasgow and two men in London, the Guardian reported. “Although searches of the addresses are continuing it is important to stress that there has been no discovery of dangerous substances at this time,” said Tom Wood, deputy chief constable of the Lothian and Borders police force (London Guardian, Feb. 6).
