A fifth person has been charged by counter-terrorism police for the RAF Brize Norton break in that caused £7million worth of damage to two military aircraft.

Muhammad Umer Khalid, of no fixed abode, was charged with conspiracy to commit criminal damage and conspiracy to enter a prohibited place knowingly for purposes prejudicial to the safety or interests of the United Kingdom.

The 22-year-old was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday, Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) have confirmed.

The appalling incident on June 20 saw activists break into the Oxfordshire air base and spray paint on two RAF Voyager planes, causing £7million worth of damage.

Palestine Action, which has since been proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000, accepted responsibility for the break in.
