Two men, Junead Ahmed Khan, 24, and his uncle Shazid Ahmed Khan, 22, from Luton in central England, were arrested by officers last week and accused of preparing acts of terrorism after the men were dicovered plotting to attack U.S. military personnel based in Britain and planning to join Islamic State militants in Syria with his uncle.
"It is alleged that Junead Khan and Shazib Khan had been planning on travelling to Syria to join the proscribed organisation Islamic State in Levant (ISIL)," said Deborah Walsh, Deputy Head of Counter Terrorism at the Crown Prosecution Service.
"It is further alleged that Junead Khan was planning a terrorist attack on U.S. military personnel in the UK and he has been charged with an additional terrorism offence to reflect this."
The men appeared at London's Westminster magistrates court later on Tuesday and were remanded in custody until their next appearance at the Old Bailey court on Aug. 10.
No further details were given of what the authorities believe was the target of the alleged attack.
