Charges dropped over cartoon hate banner

A MAN accused of holding racist banners that called for a terrorist attack has had charges against him dropped.
Omar Zaheer was arrested over a protest in February in London against newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, but the Crown Prosecution Service said yesterday that there was insufficient evidence for the case to proceed.
Police were no longer satisfied that it was Mr Zaheer who held a banner during the rally. Some of the many banners said: "UK you must pray. 7/7 on its way. UK you must pay. Bin Laden is on his way."
The decision has caused further embarrassment for the Metropolitan Police over its counter-terrorism measures. Last week the force relased without charge two brothers arrested in an anti-terror raid in Forest Gate, East London.David Davis, the Shadow Home Secretary, said: "It’s not good enough for the police to act in a way that does not allow it to secure convictions for blatant incitement ."
