Izzadeen Found Guilty Of Terror Charges
A Muslim preacher has been convicted of two terror charges.
Abu Izzadeen - also known as Omar Brooks - appeared in Kingston Crown Court today with seven other men on a variety of charges relating to the support of terrorism.
The 32-year-old from Hackney, east London, made headlines previously when he heckled the then Home Secretary John Reid at an event.
He was convicted of terrorist fundraising and inciting terrorism overseas. The jury failed to reach a verdict on a third charge of encouraging terrorism.
Eight men in total appeared in the dock today, six of whom were found guilty of supporting terrorism in some form.
One defendant was found guilty, while the jury was unable to reach a verdict in another case.
Most of the charges relate to speeches that were made at Regent's Park Mosque on November 9, 2004 – a date which coincided with the Holy month of Ramadan known as the 'Night of Power' and after US forces began their attack on the Iraqi city of Falluja.
The men will be sentenced tomorrow.
