| Syrian Preacher Found Shot Dead In London |
| 2015-04-08 |
| [SkyNews] A Syrian preacher from a west London mosque has been found shot dead in a car in Wembley. Abdul Hadi Arwani was found sitting in a dark-coloured Volkswagen Passat with a gunshot wound to his chest on Tuesday morning. The preacher, in his late 40s, was discovered in the vehicle at 11.15am. An air ambulance was called, but he was declared dead at the scene. "Make that an air hearse, Clancy!" Detectives launched a murder investigation and said they knew the identity of the victim, but that formal identification had not yet been completed. Sources confirmed it was believed to be Mr Arwani, a preacher at the An-Noor Mosque in Acton, west London. The mosque has previously hosted the son of radical preacher Abu Hamza, and was the location for the November 2013 escape of terror suspect Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed, who dressed himself in a burka. A police source said the mosque had attracted a number of former criminals who have turned to Islam and it was possible that a feud at the mosque had turned violent. Mr Arwani was advertised as a speaker at an event at the East London Mosque last June and listed as speaking from Syria. He is said to be a staunch critic of the Bashar al Assad regime. The An-Noor Mosque has hosted fundamentalist speakers including Murtaza Khan, Shakeel Begg and Haitham Haddad. |

| #1 Police say his favorite Goat "Belinda" is missing along with 214 pounds sterling. Rumors that his other goats were found having a party and singing "Ding dong the witch is dead" should not be spread. You may however snicker quietly. |
