BBC: A 19-year-old Bristol man has been charged with terrorist offences relating to explosive substances.
Andrew Ibrahim, of Westbury-on-Trym, was arrested on 17 April. Three controlled explosions were later carried out at his flat.
He has been charged with possession of an explosive substance, the intention to commit terrorism and the possession of articles for terrorist purposes.
He will appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
Speaking ahead of his appearance in the London court, Mr Ibrahim's family spoke of their "shock" at the charges.
In a statement, his relatives said: "As a family we have been shocked and deeply distressed by the events of the past fortnight.
"We are still coming to terms with the news and trying to deal with this shock as a family. We therefore would ask that the media respect our privacy at this extremely difficult time." Teenager Facing Terrorism Charges >>>
