 | Possible | Patel appears to be the "17-year-old male" charged with possession of terrorist materials. The government has not acknowledged his identity, but he is the only 17-year-old-male included in the Bank of England frozen assets list. According to the charges, the 17-year-old male had a book on how to construct bombs, suicide notes and wills of potential terrorists and a map of Afghanistan containing information "likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism."3 |
