Mr Khalif, of Beaconside, Stafford, remains in custody.

He is due to appear at London’s Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.

The Met’s Counter Terrorism Command said Mr Khalif was also charged with placing an article “with the intention of inducing in another a belief that the said article was likely to explode or ignite and thereby cause personal injury or damage to property” at Beaconside, Stafford, on or before 2 January of this year.
