David Cameron apology over imam gaffe

British Prime Minister David Cameron has apologised for “any misunderstanding” after calling former imam Sulaiman Ghani a supporter of IS.

In the run-up to the local elections last month, Cameron used question time in the House of Commons to accuse Labour’s mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan of repeatedly sharing a platform with the ex-cleric, who he branded a backer of the jihadist organisation.

He accused Khan of repeatedly sharing a platform with Ghani, adding “this man supports IS”.
