POLICE have named the 19-year-old Coventry man arrested on suspicion of terror offences.

Zakariya Ashiq was arrested last week and will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court this afternoon.

He was arrested by officers from the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit on suspicion of preparing for acts of terrorism.




The arrest was pre-planned and intelligence led, but the suspect did not pose any risk to the flight.

He has been held in custody in the West Midlands area.
