UK charges three men linked to Nazi group

Three of five British men have been charged with terror offences because of their links to a banned neo-Nazi group.

Three men have been charged with terrorism offences as part of an investigation into banned neo-Nazi group National Action.

Five men, including four serving soldiers, were held on suspicion of terror offences last week, West Midlands Police said.

Alexander Deakin, 22, Mikko Vehvilainen, 32, and Mark Barrett, 24, have been charged with membership of the group.

All three are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday.
