| Wanted terror suspect is 'Scotland Yard advisor on Muslim extremism' |
| 2008-12-15 |
| A man wanted by Interpol for terrorist offences has been advising Scotland Yard, it has been reported. Mohamed Ali Harrath had helped the Metropolitan Police - the UK's biggest force - on countering Muslim extremism, according to the Times. Tunisian-born Mr Harrath, 45, is listed as wanted on the Interpol website. Interpol is the world's largest international police organisation. The site lists his categories of offences as counterfeiting, forgery, crimes involving the use of weapons, explosives and terrorism. The Interpol website reveals that an arrest warrant for Mr Harrath was issued by Tunisia. The Times reported that Mr Harrath had been appointed by Scotland Yard as an adviser to its Muslim Contact Unit on preventing terrorism. Mr Harrath is reportedly the chief executive of the broadcaster the Islam Channel, based in London. The Met refused to comment on the story on Sunday night. |

| #4 Can't tell from this article if he is some double agent or is too good at his advice and busted some Tunisians, but I finally get the mohamed cat cartoon - it would be as if 3/4 of Christians were named Jesus H. (last name). |

| #3 His qualifications sound impeccable. Now arrest him! It might be good to review Scotland Yard's background checking process. Looks a little loose. |
