Hate preacher Anjem Choudary quizzed by anti-terror cops who fear an Islamist attack sparked by Prince Harry
ISLAMIST rabble rouser Anjem Choudary has been visited by anti-terror cops who fear an Islamist attack sparked by Prince Harry at tomorrow’s coronation, The Sun can reveal.
The bile monger – free after being jailed for terrorist offences in 2016 – is one of a number of convicted terrorists whose movements are being closely monitored.
Choudary has admitted he was spoken to by police – after warning Prince Harry’s claims to have killed Taliban fighters will increase the risk of an atrocity during the royal pageant.
He was one of a group of ex-cons being monitored by cops using Terrorist Act powers put under fighters clamps as the spectacular ceremonial was secured.
Choudary told The Sun: “When you are a terror convict they can come whenever they want to speak with you.
“They also came before the Queen’s funeral to ask if I was going.
“I believe Harry’s public comments about murdering Muslims will increase the insecurity and instability.
“They didn’t warn me but wanted to know if I was going so they could do a risk assessment.
“But it’s not allowed for Muslims to attend the coronation or to celebrate the appointment of a king who will rule by his own whims and desires.
“Sovereignty and supremacy in Islam belong solely to God.”
Choudary, 56, launched a website after a ban on him speaking in public was lifted in 2021 following his release from prison.
The fanatical firebrand has used the online platform to stoke up tensions – by promising Muslims a place in heaven should they die in street clashes with Hindus in Leicester last year.
A ban preventing Choudary from public speaking expired after he completed his five-and-a-half-year sentence for inviting support for Islamic State.
He was jailed in 2016 and was named a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the US government in 2017.
Police and the security services are still monitoring Choudary and other freed terror convicts linked to his al-Muhajiroun network, and consider them a major concern.
