• Authorities suspect Giga of traveling to commit acts of terrorism.

The Metropolitan Police stated on Saturday that they have charged a British man who allegedly traveled to Syria to fight for the Jaish Al-Fatah group with terrorism offenses. Isa Giga was arrested upon his arrival in London aboard a flight from Turkey on Thursday.

He was scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday. Authorities suspect him of traveling to commit acts of terrorism.

“We have been clear for some time now that should anyone return to the UK whom we suspect of being involved in any terrorist-related activity overseas, then they can expect to be thoroughly investigated,” Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the force’s Counter Terrorism Command told the BBC.

“We work very closely with other partners and agencies here in the UK and overseas in order to do this and help keep the public safe.”
