A man accused of sharing a string of terror documents faces a trial in the spring.

Ali Abdisalam Abdillahi, 29, of Enfield, was charged in August with six counts of dissemination of terrorist publications, contrary to section 2 of the Terrorism Act 2006.

The defendant appeared at the Old Bailey by video link from Wandsworth prison on Friday.

Mr Justice Sweeney set a timetable for the case with a plea hearing on January 11 and a provisional two-week trial at Woolwich Crown Court from April 6.

The defendant, who spoke to confirm his identity, was remanded into custody.
