The PSNI said on Tuesday that detectives from the Serious Crime Branch had charged the two men following their arrests and subsequent detention under the Terrorism Act on Monday.
A 45-year-old man, arrested in the Stewartstown area and a man aged 25, arrested in west Belfast, have both been charged with the preparation of terrorist acts and perverting the course of justice.
They are due to appear at Dungannon Magistrates' Court on Wednesday morning.

Man who stepped in front of train with toddler jailed for ten years
A suicidal man who attempted to murder a two-year-old boy by walking in front of a train while carrying the child has been jailed for ten years. Frederick Danquah, 28, stepped in front of a train after being told that his former partner had entered into a new relationship. Both the child, who cannot be named for legal reasons, and Danquah were injured in the incident at Garrowhill railway station in Glasgow's east end in July 2023. Garrowhill railway station, in Glasgow, where the incident took place two years ago Danquah denied attempted murder and another charge of culpable and reckless conduct, regarding another incident on the same date, stating his mental condition as a defence, but he was convicted by a jury at the High Court in Glasgow last month. At the same court on Wednesday, the judge said the 'harm was of the greatest kind' and sentenced Danquah to ten years in prison. He also imposed a non-harassment order until the child is 18. The court heard that earlier that day, Danquah had tried to climb over a footbridge above the M8 in Glasgow with the child on his shoulders, after arguing with his former partner who told him she had 'moved on'. After posting a suicidal message on Facebook, he prepared a 'contingency plan' including a note with contact details, the court heard. Danquah collected the child from relatives and took him into Glasgow city centre and met his sister's partner, before he attempted to climb the bridge over the M8. He was spotted by police but 'reassured them', the court heard, before he travelled to Garrowhill station with the child and made an attempt on their lives. British Transport Police said Danquah sustained a broken jaw and fracture to his neck, while the child suffered cuts and bruises but no serious injuries, and the child was discharged from hospital two days later. Danquah sustained a broken jaw and fracture to his neck but the child escaped serious injury BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICE Sentencing, Judge Tony Kelly said: 'You went to the platform, picked up [the child] and walked into the path of a train. You suffered injuries and [the child] was injured. 'To seek to take the life … over some hours is great criminality. I have no doubt about your intentions. You were intent on taking your own life on July 2, 2023.' He said a train driver 'saw you step in the path of a train' and people involved in the rescue were in 'various stages of upset'. The court heard that Danquah had no previous convictions and was involved in a Ghanaian community group. Danquah made further suicide attempts, including in December 2023, the court heard. Gary Allan, for the defence, said it was a 'horrible miracle' and Danquah was receiving psychiatric help since a 'one-off horror story took place at his own hand'. Allan said Danquah had been 'beaten up by other prisoners', and jail 'will be a living nightmare for him'.

UK's first secure school for youngsters in custody is forced to close after weapon-making child inmates 'kicked down every internal door' and had 'free rein on building'
England's first secure school which promised children in custody 'relentless love' instead of punishment has temporarily closed amid safety concerns. Staff at Oasis Restore in Medway, Kent complained prisoners have kicked down every internal door and now practically have 'free rein around the building'. They added that the inmates also regularly make weapons out of metal objects and assault employees at the site. Oasis Restore, which opened less than a year ago, was designed to offer therapeutic care and education to 12 to 18 year olds convicted of serious crimes. It was launched as a 'revolution in youth justice', replacing cells with bedrooms and guards with restorative practitioners. However, Channel 4 News has now revealed that the school will temporarily halt placements following an Ofsted monitoring visit that raised concerns about safety. The decision means that children currently being held at the site will be sent to other youth custody facilities. One employee told the programme: 'It was meant to be groundbreaking and had the potential to be fantastic but what was sold as a dream has turned into a nightmare. 'It's a very unsafe environment for the children and the staff. 'Every internal door in the place has been kicked through so the children virtually have free rein round the building. 'They make weapons out of sharped brush handles or metal objects. You can see the fear in staffs' eyes.' Another added: 'Quite a lot of staff leave very quickly and are not replaced quickly enough. It is hard to live out the ethos. 'The kids come with a lot of trauma and issues that affect their behaviour, which can be extreme at times. 'Staff are just making sure that they don't hurt each other or themselves and trying to engage them in activity. 'Kids need clear boundaries and they need to be ready to engage to come here.' Staff at Oasis Restore have reported rising disorder, assaults, broken doors and weapon-making at the school built on the former Medway Secure Training Centre site. Revelations also include prisoners refusing to go behind their doors on lock up and refusing to go to education. It is understood this has led on some occasions to managers instructing staff to allow them to stay out of their rooms and to play football outside for the eight hour period. Mark Fairhurst from the Prison Officers' Association said: 'Assaults are rife, assaults on staff are not getting reported to the police including sexual assaults on staff, managers are trying to cover things up and the managers are encouraging staff not to report things to the authorities or indeed go sick when they're seriously assaulted.' 'It's completely chaotic, it's out of control, it's disordered and there are too many incidents of violence to the people who work there', he added. According to Channel 4 News, Oasis Restore will be temporarily closed while the internal doors are replaced at the site. The school said its closure was a 'preemptive decision' to avoid any 'serious incidents' taking place on site. A spokesperson for Oasis Restore said: 'Oasis Restore is a revolution in youth justice, delivering integrated, therapeutic education and care for children in the criminal justice system. 'We exist to deliver the highest standards of care and learning for young people with incredibly complex and challenging life experiences and needs. 'On a recent Ofsted visit, inspectors highlighted how children feel safe and supported, and this is thanks to the hard work and dedication of our staff, who are building a new model of restorative justice from the ground up. 'However, Ofsted also rightly raised concerns about issues with the built environment and the effectiveness of internal doors. 'Whilst staff have done all that they can to mitigate against these issues, it has become clear that the installation of new doors will take well beyond the summer. 'Therefore, we have made the decision to stop all placements at Restore, and our current children will be relocated to other settings within the youth custody estate. 'This is pre-emptive action to avoid any serious incidents occurring on site whilst we wait for the new doors to be fitted. 'The decision was not taken lightly and reflects our commitment to safety, transparency, and ethical leadership. 'Our mission, regardless of our building infrastructure, is to deliver the highest standards of care and learning for children who require constant dedicated support from reliable adults, who they can build positive, trusted relationships with. 'This work will indeed continue after our internal doors are replaced.' The closure marks a significant moment in youth justice reform, with calls to learn from the setback rather than abandon the secure school model. A Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: 'We are taking the issues at the Secure School extremely seriously and we have been working with Oasis Restore to get them addressed. 'We are working at pace to fix doors and have already reduced the number of children held there because of these concerns and now all young offenders are being moved to other secure settings.'
