Two men were charged last night in connection with suspected "Real IRA" bomb attacks in London and Birmingham last year, Scotland Yard said.
Anti-Terrorist Squad officers charged a 33-year-old man with causing three explosions: one outside the BBC in west London, another in Ealing, west London and a third in Birmingham, in the midlands.
He was also charged with possessing an explosive substance at Hilltop Farm, West Ardsley, West Yorkshire, on or before November 14th, 2001.
He was further charged with conspiracy to cause an explosion, and with possessing a grenade and a firearm with intent to endanger life.
A second man, aged 24, was charged with conspiracy to cause an explosion on or before November 14th last year.
Both are in custody and are due to appear at Belmarsh magistrates' court in London today.
They were arrested by police in Northern Ireland last week at the request of the Anti-Terrorist Squad.
The 33-year-old was arrested on February 6th and the other man three days later.
In March 2001, a car exploded outside BBC Television Centre in Shepherd's Bush, west London, slightly injuring an Underground worker.
Five months later, another car blew up in Ealing, west London, injuring several people.
