Abu Izzadeen has been arrested for encouraging terrorism
|
Abu Izzadeen, the radical Muslim who barracked Home Secretary John Reid last year, has been arrested for allegedly encouraging terrorism. Izzadeen, 31, was held this morning in Leyton High Road, east London, under Section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2006. Scotland Yard said it related to an "on-going inquiry".
It is understood to relate to a speech he gave in the West Midlands area - thought to be Birmingham - last year. That speech apparently pre-dates the widely publicised incident in September when Izzadeen heckled Mr Reid as he addressed a 30-strong group of Muslims in Leyton. Izzadeen is in custody at a central London police station.The article here is trying to pin the arrest on his confrontaion with the government official. 'Burgers know better...he was arrested for his ties to the 'militants'. | Radical Muslim leader Anjem Choudhury predictably responded to news of his arrest by saying that Muslims were now the subject of a "witchhunt".
Izzadeen interrupted the Home Secretary and launched into an angry tirade. "How dare you come to a Muslim area when over 1,000 Muslims have been arrested?" he said. "You are an enemy of Islam and Muslims, you are a tyrant. Shame on all of us for sitting down and listening to him." Continuing his diatribe, Izzadeen said Mr Reid, Tony Blair and George Bush could "all go to hell". Izzadeen is a well-known Islamic extremist who has been investigated over controversial comments about the July 7 suicide attacks. He came to public prominence after refusing to condemn the 7/7 London bombings. Instead, he described the attacks as "mujahideen activity" which would make people "wake up and smell the coffee".
And bt the way:
Izzadeen, also known as Omar Brooks, is said to be a former spokesman for the radical Islamic group al-Ghurabaa, an offshoot of al-Muhajiroun - both of which are now banned in the UK.
