Two British soldiers and a third man have been charged with terror offences, including membership of a banned right wing group.
Three men have been charged with terror offences as part of an investigation into the banned neo-Nazi group National Action.
West Midlands Police said Alexander Deakin, 22, Mikko Vehvilainen, 32, and Mark Barrett, 24, have been charged with being members of a proscribed organisation contrary to Section 11 of the Terrorism Act.
The organisation, linked to the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox, was described by the Home Office as "virulently racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic" and eager to see the United Kingdom embroiled in a "violent race war".
Vehvilainen was also charged with possessing documents useful in committing or preparing an act of terrorism, as well as publishing threatening or abusive material and possessing a weapon.
The Home Office proscription of National Action means that being a member of, or inviting support for it is a criminal offence carrying a sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Details of the leadership of the group are cloaked in secrecy.
Mair shouted "Britain first!" as he killed her, and National Action later praised Mair's actions.
