Hate cleric Anjem Choudary pictured with London Stock Exchange bomb plotter

The UK News (ANI) Sunday 5th February, 2012

London based hate cleric Anjem Choudary has been photographed with one of the terrorists who recently pleaded guilty to plotting to blow up the London Stock Exchange.

In a photograph, taken in 2009, Mohammed Chowdhury, 21 is seen standing next to Anjem as he gives a television interview spouting his inflammatory views.

According to Express.co.uk, the photo was taken when Anjem was caught up in a heated exchange with Douglas Murray, an anti-extremist campaigner and now associate director of the Henry Jackson think tank.

In another picture, Mohammed is seen carrying a banner supporting Islam4UK, one of Anjem's groups, which was banned by the Home Office in Jan-uary 2010 for its offensive views, the report said.

Anjem, however, insisted that Mohammed was not a member of any of his organisations.

"Him and one or two others attended some of our public events, some of the demonstrations and processions.There were so many people over the years that you can't keep track of all of them," Anjem said.

"None of these individuals were members of Al Mujiharoun or -Islam4UK, despite the fact there are one or two photographs about. As far as I am concerned all of them seemed like very decent young men who hitherto were ordinary Muslims in their communities," he added.

Mohammed, from London, was a key figure in a nine-man Al Qaeda-inspired gang whose targets included Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the London Eye.

They had a magazine named 'Inspire', which carried a feature on making a bomb in your mother's kitchen. (ANI)
