Extremist Choudary probed over call to 'hide terror clues'

RADICAL Muslim Anjem Choudary could face a police inquiry over calls to his followers to hide evidence from investigators.

Scotland Yard is examining a video of a 90-minute speech by Choudary on an extremist website.

On the tape he says: "Your house should be clean. There should be nothing at all there which they can come along and then can form some sort of intention." He also allegedly urges terror suspects to flee Britain, telling them: "Don't take your chance in court."

Choudary, 41, whose supporters recently hurled abuse at soldiers from the Royal Anglian Regiment returning from Afghanistan, is under constant review by MI5 and police. The Metropolitan Police's counter-terrorism command is examining his latest speech.

Police are already believed to be examining whether he broke the law in calling for money to be collected for Islamic fighters.

On a website he has been heard calling on Muslims not to save money for their families but to give it to Mujahideen - holy warriors. It is an offence under the Terrorism Act to raise money for terrorism, whether in this country or overseas.
