A BRITISH man who fought Isis as a member of a Kurdish militia appeared in court yesterday charged with attending a terrorist training camp.

Former soldier James Matthews, 43, was greeted by supporters outside Westminster magistrates’ court as he arrived to face a single charge of attending a place used for terrorist training, an offence under the Terrorism Act 2006.

It is alleged that, on or before February 15 2016, Mr Matthews attended a place or places in Iraq and Syria where instruction or training was provided for purposes connected to the commission or preparation of terrorism.
