1st LD: Two men from Birmingham accused of giving money to Brussels attacks suspect

Xinhua, April 29, 2016 Adjust font size:

Two men from Birmingham on Friday appeared in a London court accused of giving money to a terror suspect in Brussels and Paris attacks, local media reported Friday.

Mohammed Ali Ahmed and Zakaria Boufassil, both 26, are charged with giving 3,000 pounds (about 4,389 U.S. dollars) to Brussels and Paris attacks suspect Mohamed Abrini when the latter was in Britain, Britain's Sky News reported Friday.

It is alleged the two men met Abrini, known as "the man in the hat" in Brussels attacks, in a park in Small Heath of Birmingham in July last year, when they provided him the money. Endit
