The police spokesman said: “Officers from Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command have tonight, 15 November, charged a second man in connection with an investigation into travel to Syria in support of alleged terrorist activity.

“Jubayer Chowdhury, 24, together with Shajul Islam and others, within the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court, between 17 July 2012 and 26 July 2012, unlawfully and injuriously imprisoned John Cantlie and Jeroen Oerlemans against their will.

“Contrary to common law and Section 63B of the Terrorism Act 2000.”

Mr Cantlie, who worked for various newspapers including the Sunday Times, and Mr Oerlemans were held captive for about a week after travelling to the country to report on the ongoing civil war.

Islam, a trainee NHS doctor, is accused of acting as a medic for the group which abducted them.

He was arrested at Heathrow Airport last month after arriving from Egypt.
