London’s notorious Finsbury Park mosque reopened under new management. The mosque, which was closed after its former leader, Abu Hamza al-Masri was jailed under UK anti-terror laws, is now led by five trustees.
The Times of London identifies Mohammed Kassem Sawalha (pictured), one of the trustees, as a former Hamas military commander also linked to US legal proceedings against three Hamas figures charged with conspiracy and racketeering. Sawalha says he supports Hamas’ “legitimate struggle,” but denies the accusations.
