Austrian terrorist suspect charged

German federal prosecutors say they have charged a 21-year-old Austrian man with supporting a terrorist organisation on allegations he raised funds for it and sought recruits in Berlin. Prosecutors said in a statement that Maqsood L., whose last name was not given in accordance with German privacy laws, was charged Friday with supporting the German Taliban Mujahideen, a group of radicals committed to a "religious fundamentalist society" in Afghanistan and responsible for attacks there.
He was arrested May 16 in Berlin on an Austrian warrant on unrelated charges, after allegedly travelling from Budapest to the German capital to raise money and recruit followers.
