A Derby man is one of two people who have appeared in court charged with a string of terror offences.

Munir Hassan Mohammed, of Leopold Street, Derby, appeared accused of preparing for an act of terror between the anniversary of 7/7 this year until his arrest in December.

The 35-year-old is also charged with being a member of Islamic State (IS) and possessing instructions on how to build an explosive device inside a mobile phone.

It is also alleged he disseminated terrorist material, the North East Counter-Terrorism Unit said.
