A 14-year-old boy has been charged with plotting an "Islamist" terror attack, police have said.

The teenager, from Eastleigh, who cannot be named, faces one count of preparation of terrorist acts.

Hampshire Police, which arrested the boy on 12 June, said it believed the investigation was "isolated". The boy was later re-arrested by counter-terror police.

He is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
