A NOTORIOUS Muslim activist who heckled the Home Secretary was convicted of fundraising for terrorists and inciting terrorism overseas today.

Muslim preacher Abu Izzadeen was among six men convicted at Kingston Crown Court at the end of a three-and-a-half month trial.

The outspoken 32-year-old former electrician, who once heckled former Home Secretary John Reid on live TV, was on trial with seven other men.

Five of them were also found guilty by jurors today after more than 22 hours of deliberations.

One other defendant was cleared and the jury failed to reach a verdict on another man.

Shah Jalal Hussain, guilty of terrorist fund-raising, is missing after failing to appear at court on April 8.

Simon Keeler and Abdul Muhid, both from Whitechapel in east London were also found guilty of terrorist fund-raising.

Rehman Saleem, of Poplar, east London, and Ibrahim Abdullah Hassan, of Leyton, east London, were found guilty along with Izzadeen and Simon Keeler of inciting terrorism overseas.
