Abu Nusaybah gave an interview to the BBC last week claiming his friend, Michael Adebolajo, had been offered a job by MI5.

He was arrested after the recording and was charged with three counts under the Terrorism Act. They are not linked to the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby.

His defence counsel, Mozammel Hossain, indicated he would be entering not guilty pleas.

Nusaybah, also known as Ibrahim Abdullah-Hassan, was remanded in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey on June 28.
