LONDON, England -- CNN
A British court has refused an application for bail by an Algerian pilot accused of training some of last month's suicide hijackers.

Magistrate Timothy Workman said there was "substantial risk" of Lofti Raissi failing to surrender if he was released.

A second man, Sulayman Balal Zainulabidin, was also refused bail on separate terrorism charges of providing training or instruction in the making of firearms, explosives or chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.

Raissi, 27, is facing extradition to the United States after the U.S. government alleged he was the chief flying instructor for four of the suicide hijackers in the September 11 attacks.
