Mid-October-December 2001: British Muslim Radicalized by Informer Fights Allied Troops in Afghanistan

A British Muslim radicalized at Finsbury Park mosque in London, which is run by British intelligence informer and radical imam Abu Hamza al-Masri (see Early 1997), fights against British troops in northern Afghanistan. The man’s name is not known, but he will be said to be a former DJ of Lebanese descent from a rich family. [O’Neill and McGrory, 2006, pp. 88]
