Why some choose vehicles over other weapons“A vehicle attack doesn’t require any special training,” CNN National Security Analyst Peter Bergen said. The attack killed 32-year-old civil rights activist Heather Heyer. Ahmad Gharabli/AFP/Getty Images Israeli security forces and emergency personnel gather at the site of the vehicle attack.

LONDON, July 24 (Reuters) - British radical Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary has been charged with three terrorism offences after being arrested in London last week, police said on Monday. Choudary, 56, has been charged with membership of a proscribed organisation, directing a terrorist organisation and addressing meetings to encourage support for a proscribed organisation, police said. Once Britain's most high profile Islamist preacher, Choudary was imprisoned in Britain in 2016 for encouraging support for Islamic State before being released in 2018 after serving half of his five-and-a-half year sentence. A 28-year-old Canadian man, Khaled Hussein, has also been charged with membership of a proscribed organisation after being arrested on the same day as Choudary when he arrived on a flight at Heathrow Airport, police said.
