A man has been charged with allegedly assisting Manchester synagogue terrorist Jihad Al-Shamie by driving him to a UK defence facility to carry out reconnaissance.
Mohammad Bashir, 31, from Manchester, was charged with four terrorism offences, including preparation for acts of terrorism and will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday.
The charges allege he drove Al-Shamie, 35, to an unnamed defence facility on August 14.
Al-Shamie was shot dead by police responding to the synagogue attack which left two dead on October 2.
Frank Ferguson, chief crown prosecutor of the Crown Prosecution Service Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division, said: "Today, we have decided to prosecute Mohammad Bashir with terrorism offences - following a Counter Terrorism Policing North West investigation into his conduct linked to Jihad Al Shamie.
"Our prosecutors have concluded that there is sufficient evidence to charge Mohammad Bashir with one offence of preparation of terrorist acts and three offences of sharing terrorist publications with Al-Shamie and others with the intent to encourage acts of terrorism.
"We have worked closely with Counter Terrorism Policing North West as they carried out their investigation."
Worshippers Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby were killed after Al-Shamie, a Syrian-born UK citizen, drove his Kia Picanto into the gates of the Heaton Park Hebrew Synagogue on October 2.
