UK: Blogger charged over Iraq war MPs list
A man has been charged with soliciting murder and offences under the Terrorism Act in connection with a blog that listed MPs who voted for the Iraq war. Bilal Zaheer Ahmad, 23, was arrested last week for allegedly using the blog to call for action against those MPs. RevolutionMuslim.com, hosted in the USA, has previously been cited as one the websites responsible for radicalising Roshonara Choudhry. She was sentenced to life imprisonment earlier this month for attempting to murder Labour MP Stephen Timms. US authorities have closed the site at the UK’s request.
