Six jailed for supporting terror


Six men convicted of supporting terrorism through speeches at a London mosque have been handed jail terms.

Among them is Muslim preacher Abu Izzadeen, who was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison.

The speeches, on 9 November 2004, came as US and British forces fought fierce battles in Falluja, Iraq.

The sentencing was delayed after one of the guilty men, who had jumped bail for 10 days, turned himself in.

Shah Jalal Hussain, 25, surrendered at Kingston Crown Court after he went missing when the jury began deliberations on 8 April, prompting the court to issue a warrant for his arrest.

He was convicted of terrorist fundraising and breaking his bail conditions and jailed for two years and three months.
