A KIDBROOKE chef, who has pleaded not guilty to offering training in terrorism skills, will go on trial at the Old Bailey on January 4.

Suleyman Zain Ul-Abidin has been held at Belmarsh Prison since his arrest in central London on October 1. He is accused of offences under the Prevention of Terrorism Act.

Since his arrest, police and forensic teams have scoured his Ryan Close flat.

The 43-year-old has confirmed his role in the Sakina Security Group, which was under investigation by the FBI for a year before his arrest.

He has also been questioned over his fundraising activities for Islamic Jihad, one of the 21 terrorist organisations banned by the Government.
