Finsbury mosque raided — finally!
Police have raided Finsbury Park mosque in north London, arresting seven people. Scotland Yard said the raid was linked to the investigation into the discovery of traces of the deadly poison Ricin in a flat in Wood Green, north London, earlier this month. Maybe they are starting to take it seriously... The mosque has attracted controversy over its connection with radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza. Mr Hamza, who preaches at the mosque, faces exclusion as an agent of the North London Central Mosque trust because of "inflammatory and highly political" speeches at prayers. In fact, he's a terrorist. He's just been using his mouth lately, instead of his guns... A spokesman for Scotland Yard told BBC News Online the raid was part of extensive investigations into terror activities in the UK. He added: "Although this is linked to arrests made in north London, at this stage there is nothing to suggest chemical substances are on the premises." More likely stashed in somebody's apartment... Scotland Yard said the raid was carried out at 0200 GMT on Monday by police officers with search warrants issued under the Terrorism Act 2000. The seven people have been taken to a central London station for questioning. Hopefully they'll be kept there until two weeks after hell freezes over. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-01-19 |
