British authorities have charged six Muslim men arrested last week with inciting "terrorism" activities overseas.
 
Four of them face additional charges of raising funds for terrorists, ritish police said.
 
All six are due to appear before magistrates in London on Monday.



Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command and local police officers made the arrests in a pre-dawn raid last week in relation to speeches made at a mosque two-and-a-half years ago.






Abu Izzadeen, Omar Zaheer, Shal Jalal Hussein, Simon Keeler, Ibrahim Abdullah Hassan and Rajib Khan were all charged with terrorist fund-raising.
 
Keeler, Hassan, Khan and Izzadeen were also charged with inciting terrorism abroad.
 
In addition, Hassan was charged with possessing articles suspected to be related to the commission, preparation, or instigation of a terrorist attack.
 
Izzadeen is known for heckling John Reid, the home secretary, on television last September, calling him "an enemy of Islam" and "a tyrant".
 
He came to prominence for refusing to condemn the deadly July 2005 suicide bombings in London and has described Tony Blair, the British prime minister, and George Bush, the US president, as the "real terrorists" for military action in Iraq and Afghanistan.
 
The electrician born in London to a Jamaican family, is thought to be a former spokesman for the al-Ghurabaa group, an offshoot of the now disbanded al-Muhajiroun led by radical cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed.
 
Both groups are now banned in Britain.
