UK Muslim convert denies charges under 'terrorism' act

A British Muslim convert who allegedly travelled to Syria for "terrorism" pleaded not guilty on Friday to a string of charges at London's Old Bailey court.

Aine Davis, 39, was charged after returning to Britain and being arrested at Luton Airport, north of London, last August.

Davis pleaded not guilty to two charges related to providing money for terrorist purposes and one of possessing a firearm for a purpose connected to terrorism.

The judge set a further hearing for April 18 and Davis was remanded into custody.
