A court in London has ordered the detention of a British suspect. This action was taken based on a U.S. warrant accusing him of raising funds for terrorists in Afghanistan and Chechnya. U.S. officials also accuse Babar Ahmad of possessing detailed military plans of U.S. Navy ships in Middle Eastern waters. The formal extradition request states that Ahmad was raising money online to assist militants and was providing routes to Afghanistan to support the Taliban. The London court stated on Friday that Ahmad will remain in custody until the next hearing on August 13. British officials arrested him earlier in the week. On the same Friday, British authorities also released one of the 12 men who were detained in recent anti-terrorism operations.
