Three men have appeared in court over an alleged plot to behead a person in the UK.
Nadir Ali Sayed, Yousaf Shah Syed and Haseeb Hamayoon were arrested on 6 November in London and High Wycombe.
During a preliminary hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court, none of them applied for bail and they were remanded in custody.
Rebecca Mundy, prosecuting, said the charges related to an alleged plan to carry out a beheading.
Further details of the alleged plot were not given.
Mr Sayed, 21, from Hounslow, Mr Syed, 19, from High Wycombe, and Mr Hamayoon, 27, from Hayes, were arrested three days before Remembrance Sunday.
A fourth man, arrested in Uxbridge, west London, was released on Saturday with no further action against him.
The trio were charged earlier on Thursday - the 14th and final day that they could be held by police under terrorism legislation.
Scotland Yard did not give details of the alleged offences, but said the men had been charged with being "jointly engaged" in preparing for committing acts of terrorism.
