Trail of terror leads from north London mosque

BRITISH police say London’s Finsbury Park Mosque, where jailed cleric Abu Hamza used to deliver his sermons, had links to numerous terrorism cases around the world in the last decade.

Zacarias Moussaoui, who has pleaded guilty in a US court to six counts of conspiracy in connection with the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington, was a member of the mosque.

Convicted shoebomber Richard Reid, who unsuccessfully tried to blow up a transatlantic flight in 2001, was another worshipper there and police believe he was radicalised by people at the mosque.
