Radical Muslim charged with terror offences

13 April 2012

Radical Muslim Abu Izzadeen has been charged with inciting terrorism overseas and fundraising, police have revealed.

The 32-year-old from east London is one of six men charged with fundraising under the Terrorism Act 2000 after they were arrested on Tuesday, Scotland Yard said.

Four of the six, including Izzadeen, were also charged with inciting terrorism overseas. They will appear in custody at City of Westminster Magistrates Court.

The six men were arrested this week in connection with allegedly inflammatory statements made at London's Regent's Park Mosque in November 2004.

Izzadeen, along with Shal Jalal Hussain, 24, of east London, Omar Zaheer, 27, of Southall, Simon Keeler, 35, of east London, Ibrahim Abdullah Hassan, 21, of east London and Rajib Khan, 28, of Luton, are all charged with terrorist fundraising.

Izzadeen, Keeler, Hassan and Khan have also been charged with inciting others to commit acts of terrorism overseas.

In addition Hassan is charged with possession of articles suspected to be connected with the commission, preparation or instigation of a terrorist act.

Izzadeen, a former electrician who lives in Leytonstone, east London, with his wife and three children, is perhaps best known for his barracking of Home Secretary John Reid last September.
