Irish Muslim named in file on extremists

THE country’s largest Islamic organisation has rejected reports that an Irish Muslim named in a British intelligence dossier on Libyan extremists is a “leading figure” in the community here.

Ibrahim Buisir, 50, who has lived here for 30 years, is listed in a document reportedly abandoned last week at the British embassy in the Libyan capital, Tripoli.

The dossier was compiled by M15, the British intelligence agency, and profiled 12 Libyans living overseas.
