Mosque leader fears over 'shoe bomb' suspect

The head of the London mosque where alleged ‘‘shoe’’ bomber Richard Reid worshipped today warned that other Muslim youths were in danger of falling prey to extremists.

And Abdul Haqq Baker, 35, chairman of the Brixton mosque, revealed that Reid was thought to have travelled to Pakistan, which was used as a staging post by recruits to Osama bin Laden’s Afghanistan-based al-Qaida terror network.
