British doctor charged over double kidnap in Syria to appear in court A 26-year-old woman who was arrested at the same time, was released without charge. The pair, who had arrived on a flight from Egypt, were held on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. He said the "doctor" used saline drips with NHS logos on them. British medical students spend time in NHS hospitals as part of their training programme. The extremist said he had taken a sabbatical from his job, and that treating badly injured fighters in Syria would be good training for when he returned to Britain. Mr Cantlie said at the time: "I asked for his help as we were both from London but he refused even to send a text to my girlfriend to say we were alive. He said he would be beheaded if he did. It wasn't much fun expecting to end up on an execution video at the hands of extremists - one of whom was treating Londoners like me a few months ago. It is understood that counter terrorism investigators are increasingly concerned about foreign nationals travelling to Syria to support jihadi movements. The intelligence services believe as many as 100 Britons may have travelled to Syria to either join jihadi groups or to fight alongside rebel forces attacking the regime of Bashar al-Assad. Islam will appear at Westminster magistrates" court today.
