LONDON — Three British Muslims, including a convert who was featured in a documentary about radicalism, pleaded guilty to terrorism charges in London Friday. Richard Dart, 29, Imran Mahmood, 21, and Jahangir Alom, 26, were arrested last July and accused of traveling to Pakistan between 2010 and 2012 with the intention of committing terrorist acts. They also were accused of advising and counseling the commission of terrorism acts by providing information about travel to Pakistan, terrorism training and operational security while there. Details on the allegations were not given at London's Old Bailey court, where the men pleaded guilty in an appearance by video-link. Both Alom and Dart previously had come to public attention. Dart appeared in a BBC documentary, “My Brother the Islamist,” that chronicled the efforts of his filmmaker stepbrother Robb Leech to understand why Dart had rejected his family and embraced an uncompromising form of Islam. Alom, a former police support officer, also made a YouTube appearance in which he expounded on his hardline beliefs. The three men — who had been due to face trial next month — were remanded in custody for sentencing at a later date. Suspected militants slain Indonesian police shot and killed three suspected militants and arrested four others near the country's capital, seizing more than a dozen homemade bombs and a cache of other weapons from a group suspected of planning terrorism acts, police said Friday. Two suspects resisted when police tried to arrest them late Thursday in western Jakarta for their alleged connection to a jewelry shop robbery. Authorities fatally shot one of the men, said National Police spokesman Brig. Gen. Boy Rafli Amar. He said another suspect was interrogated and revealed that the robberies were being used to fund terrorism activities. His information led police to five other members of the group early Friday in Bekasi, near Jakarta. — Agencies
