BANNED FROM BRITAIN

Omar Bakri Mohammed first appeared on World- Check in September 2001. He reportedly obtained asylum in Britain in the 1980's having been expelled from Saudi Arabia as a religious extremist. He founded Al Muhajiroun (UID38696 ) which had affiliates or contacts in both Pakistan and the United States prior to the 9/11 attacks on the USA. He is reported to be an associate of Abu Hamza al-Masri, (UID 60004 -profiled by World-Check in September 2002) who is currently in Belmarsh high security jail awaiting trial on UK terrorism charges and is also facing a U.S. extradition request. Another associate is said to be Abdullah al-Faisal (UID 215053), a Jamaican-born London imam now imprisoned on terrorism-related charges, who in turn is reported to have been in contact with Richard Reid, the shoe-bomber and allegedly a number of the suicide bombers who attacked London on July 7, 2005. In August 2005, the British Home Secretary Charles Clarke, banned Omar Bakri from returning to the United Kingdom after he had left the country for a visit to Lebanon. It was felt that his presence in Britain was "not conducive to the public good". The fanatical cleric was amongst a number of 'radicals' who the government decided were personas non-gratas after the terror attacks on the capital in July. Check out his profile on UID 38697.
