Attempted murder charge in counter-terror inquiry

Alina Burns, 18, appeared at Bristol Crown Court earlier

An 18-year-old woman has appeared in court charged with attempted murder after counter-terrorism police investigated an attack on a man in Bristol.

Alina Burns, of Lynton Road, Bristol, was arrested on 2 August after a 27-year-old man suffered minor injuries during an assault in Bedminster.

After appearing at Bristol Crown Court on Monday she was remanded into custody and is next due to appear at the Central Criminal Court in London on 26 September.

Ms Burns already appeared at the same court on 4 August charged with racially aggravated actual bodily harm (ABH) and three counts of possession of a bladed article. Counter Terrorism Policing South West are leading the investigation.
