Daniel Abed Khalife, 21, was remanded in custody after his brief appearance in London's Westminster Magistrates' Court.

London police said he was charged on Friday over two incidents at a Royal Air Force (RAF) base in Stafford, central England, near the army barracks where he lives.

Khalife is accused of "attempting to elicit information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism" in August 2021.

He was also charged with a bomb hoax by placing a suspect device at the RAF base on January 2 this year.

Khalife, wearing a grey jumper and blue jeans, spoke only to confirm his identity. He will appear in the same court again on February 3.
