Six British Muslim men were found guilty today of inciting acts of terrorism or raising money for terrorist purposes.
Among the six was Omar Brooks, also known as Abu Izzadeen, a man who came to public attention in 2006 when he publicly heckled then Home Secretary John Reid in front of television cameras.
The men will be sentenced on Friday.
The guilty verdicts follow a three-month trial at Kingston Crown Court, 10 miles west of London.
One of the six jumped bail while the jury was considering its verdict and is being hunted by police.
"These are extremely serious offences. The overwhelming majority of people totally reject the deeply offensive views peddled by these defendants," said John McDowall, head of the Metropolitan Police Service's Counter Terrorism Command.
"They deliberately set out to incite people to carry out terrorist acts."
The charges arise from speeches and preaching the men were involved in at London's Regents Park Mosque on November 9th, 2004.
The court was told that the men had gone to the mosque to observe Ramadan. During the late afternoon and evening their speeches became progressively more inflammatory.
