Muslim preacher sentenced in Britain for supporting terrorism
By DPA
Tags: U.K., terrorism, Abu Izzadeen 

A controversial Muslim preacher and five of his supporters were jailed Friday by a court in Britain for supporting terrorism.

Abu Izzadeen, a 32-year-old former electrician and Muslim convert, was given a four-and-a-half-year jail term for terrorist fund-raising and inciting terrorism overseas.

He gained notoriety in 2006 when he heckled a speech given in a mosque in east London by John Reid, Britain's Home Secretary at the time.

The charges related to speeches made at London's Regent's Park mosque in November 2004, at the height of an attack by US forces on the Iraqi city of Fallujah.

Five of Izzadeen's supporters, who were all members of the group Al-Muhajiroun, which is banned in Britain, were given prison terms ranging between two years and four-and-a-half years.
