18 January 2008
Abu Izzadeen, who hit the headlines after he heckled former home secretary John Reid, faces a maximum sentence of life for inciting terrorism overseas. He will also be sentenced for fundraising for terrorism.
Simon Keeler, 36, faces sentence on both charges. Abdul Saleem, 32, and Ibrahim Hassan, 25, will also be dealt with for one charge of inciting terrorism. They were both cleared of fundraising for terrorists.
Shah Jilal Hussain and Abdul Muhid, both 25, were also found guilty of fundraising for terrorists by a jury on Thursday.
But Hussain will be sentenced in his absence after he absconded while the jury was deliberating. He is still on the run more than a week later and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Izzadeen, a former BT electrician, who now lives off benefits, achieved even more notoriety when he ranted at Mr Reid in 2006 as he gave a speech to Muslims in east London.
Two men walked free after the verdicts at Kingston Crown Court.
Rajib Khan, 29, was cleared of the same charge. The jury failed to reach a verdict in respect of the charge of inciting terrorism overseas in his case.
They also failed to reach a verdict in respect of Omar Zaheer, 28, also charged with the same offence.
The jury did not return a verdict on a third offence of encouraging terrorism faced by Izzadeen, who changed his name from Trevor Brooks after converting to Islam.
