Four men charged with terrorism offences after a series of dawn raids in Birmingham were due in court in London, police said. 

The men, aged 29, 30, 31 and 34, all from Birmingham, will appear at Westminster Magistrates Court for their first hearing since they were charged.
   
They were arrested under the Terrorism Act last Tuesday when West Midlands police raided houses and businesses in the city.
   
Three of them are charged with engaging in conduct with the intention of assisting in the commission of acts of terrorism, while the 31-year-old is charged with failing to disclose information relating to an act of terrorism.
   
The men have not been named and police have given no details about what led to the arrests.

A fifth man arrested at the same time was released without charge.
