(BBC) The extremist preacher Anjem Choudary has been found guilty of directing a terrorist organisation.
Choudary, one of the most important radicalisers in the UK, was caught in an international undercover investigation into his long-banned organisation.
Officers in the US and Canada posed as would-be terrorists to attend online lectures as British investigators bugged Choudary’s home.
Conviction for directing the banned al-Muhajiroun (ALM) group means Choudary could be jailed for life — but also reveals his enduring determination to recruit followers.
Along with Choudary, one of his followers, Canadian Khaled Hussein, 29, was convicted of being a member of the banned group.
