        British police charged an 18-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman with terrorism offences after an investigation into suspected extreme right-wing terrorism activity.
        
        Police said, the investigation was not a consequence of more than a week of riots and racist attacks which took place across the country after three young girls were killed in the northern English town of Southport on July 29.
        
        One was charged with preparation of terrorist acts, while another was charged with preparation of terrorist acts and two counts of collecting information likely to be useful to a person preparing such an act.
        
        Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Met Police's counter terrorism command said, "I want to reassure the public that at this time we do not believe that there is any wider threat related to this investigation, although our investigation very much continues."
