A British soldier is to be charged with explosives and terrorism offences, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.It is alleged Ryan Adam McGee, who was serving with 5th Battalion The Rifles at the time of his arrest in December, made an improvised bomb and had a copy of The Anarchist Cookbook.
He was detained last year at an Army base in Germany after the discovery of a suspicious device at a Salford house.
The solider will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 2 April.
Jane Stansfield of the CPS counter terrorism division said: "This decision to prosecute was taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors.
"We have determined that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and that a prosecution is in the public interest."
