Four suspects said to have worshipped at Finsbury Park mosque
Audrey Gillan Monday August 1, 2005 <http://www.guardian.co.uk/> The Guardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/attackonlondon/story/0,16132,1540243,00.html The connections between the four men in custody for their alleged involvement in the second London bomb plot became clearer over the weekend as details of the interrogation of Hussein Osman leaked out of Italy. The man police believe was responsible for the attempt to set off a bomb on a tube train at London's Oval station is said to have told his interrogators that he and his associates attended Finsbury Park mosque in north London. He also claimed that they were recruited while working out at the same west London gym. Yesterday, the Sunday Times reported that Ramzi Muhammad, arrested in connection with Oval tube bomb attempt, had tried to have the imam at his local mosque sacked. It quoted the imam of the al-Manaar Cultural Heritage Centre in west London as saying that Muhammad and his brother Wahbi were known for their radicalism and that they had abused him and called him an "apostate" and "infidel". The Sunday Times quoted the imam, Ahmed Dahdouh, as saying: "Ramzi and his brother used to come here in the mosque. There were four or five of them in the group. They used to cause a lot of trouble. They used to pray on their own as they used to think we were not proper Muslims. "In one of my Friday sermons I said that Islam forbids terrorism. I recall Ramzi later came up to me and told me, 'Why did you say that? It's wrong.' He was angry with me. He tried to get me sacked because I disagreed with them." The newspaper reported that the brothers had broken a glass display cabinet in the mosque and torn down a poster. Yesterday Mr Dahdouh could not be contacted but Abdul Karim Khalil, the centre's director, said he did not remember any glass being broken and suggested the imam's words had been taken out of context. "In one way we are very relieved, just like any person in London, that these individuals are in police custody," he said. "But we are saddened, shocked and appalled that some of them may have been praying here at the centre. "Some of these people may well have been praying here, we are the main centre in the west London area." He added: "There was never any glass broken as far as I am concerned. All this talk of people praying alone is nonsense." Newspaper reports also suggested the brothers had been members of the now disbanded radical Muslim group al-Muhajiroun. But the group's founder, Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad, denied Ramzi Muhammad had been a member. He said: "I have never heard of this man. There has never been anyone called Ramzi involved in al-Muhajiroun, I can say this for sure. "The police took away all the records of everyone in the group and there was never anyone with that name. Al-Muhajiroun was never connected with the Muslim Cultural Centre where he is said to have worshipped, we never visited that area." All rights reserved.
