 So the police over here in the UK seem to be doing their job well: 

Two teenage students have been charged in connection with an investigation into suspected terrorist activity overseas, police said.

The 18-year-olds have been charged under section 58 of the Terrorism Act and will appear in court on Thursday, Scotland Yard said.

Irfan Raja, a student from Ilford in Essex, has been charged with making a record of information likely to be useful to a terrorist.

He was arrested on February 27 after attending a police station in London by appointment.

The second student, Awaab Iqbal, from Bradford, has been charged with possessing information likely to be useful to a terrorist.

He was held at his home in Bradford last Thursday. Both will appear before Bow Street Magistrates Court in central London. Two other men arrested in Bradford are still in custody.

The full charge against Raja, alleges that between December 31 last year and February 24 this year he “made a record of information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism” without reasonable excuse.

The full charge against Iqbal, who turns 19 on Thursday, alleges that between February 23 this year and March 3 this year he “possessed a record of information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism”.

The two men still in custody, aged 18 and 19, are being held at a police station in central London. As part of the investigation, a number of residential properties in the Bradford area were searched by police. All searches have now been completed.
