Muslim guilty of urging followers to kill

A LONDON-BASED Muslim cleric accused of supporting Osama bin Laden was found guilty yesterday of urging his followers to kill “enemies of Islam” in a holy war against non-believers.

Jamaican-born Sheikh Abdullah el-Faisal, 39, was convicted of three rare charges of incitement to murder. He was also found guilty of three counts of stirring up racial hatred through the use of threatening and abusive words in person and through video or audio recordings.

Faisal, who was arrested by British anti-terrorist police last year, will be sentenced next week. The charges are punishable by life imprisonment.
