Two 14-year-old boys have been charged with conspiracy to murder after being arrested by counter-terror police in North Yorkshire.
The teenagers were arrested on 28 October, and police were able to extend their detention under counter-terror laws.
Both have been charged with conspiracy to murder and one faces another charge of aggravated burglary.
They are due to appear in custody at Leeds Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
On Monday, Assistant Chief Constable Phil Cain said: "North Yorkshire Police are supporting officers from the North East counter terrorism unit with their investigation and searches.
"Officers believe that this is an isolated incident and the wider community is not at risk.
"We appreciate the cooperation of local residents whilst the investigation continues."
