A Liverpool man has been charged with terrorism offences after being extradited from Spain following a request by counter terrorism detectives.
Kristopher Thomas Kearney, 37, was arrested by Spanish Police at an address in Alicante in March this year, under a Trade and Co-operation Agreement warrant, obtained by the Met Police's Counter Terrorism Command. Kearney's extradition was granted by the Spanish courts and he was extradited last month.
He was then arrested by Counter Terrorism officers after he landed in the UK, and was charged to Westminster Magistrates' Court where he appeared on September 9.

The Old Bailey confirmed a provisional trial date has been set for June 5 next year. Kearney has been remanded in custody.
