Abu Hamza's successor among suspects

A FORMER henchman of Abu Hamza al-Masri is among the 14 men arrested in London on suspicion of involvement in terrorist recruiting.
Abu Abdullah, 42, assumed the leadership of the Supporters of Shariah group when Abu Hamza, the former imam of Finsbury Park mosque, was arrested in May 2004.
He is banned from almost every mosque in Britain but continues to preach an inflammatory message in private "study circles" and has attended camps in the grounds of the Jameah Islamiyah school.
Mr Abdullah, a father of four who is from a Turkish Cypriot family but was born in Britain, is a former youth football coach. He was often seen by Abu Hamza’s side when the cleric preached on the streets of Finsbury Park. Last month The Sunday Times reported comments by Mr Abdullah in which he described the July 7 bombers as "my honourable brothers in Islam" and said that suicide bombing was "halal", meaning permissible under Islamic law.
He added: "The martyr that goes about his enemies is going to shield his people. He doesn’t have weapons of mass destruction, he only has household chemicals . . . The West is escalating their killing of Muslims. We have a right to defend ourselves. If I had the means to go back there [Afghanistan] and kill an American or British soldier I would love to do so."
Mr Abdullah’s home in Bromley, South London, is among 17 addresses being searched by police.
