Britain charges radical preacher Anjem Choudary with seeking support for Islamic State

The Crown Prosecution Service said Wednesday that Choudary, 48, and Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, 32, have been charged with supporting the Islamic State group, which is a banned organization. The service said the offenses occurred from June 29, 2014, until March 6 of this year.

Sue Hemming, head of special crime and counter-terrorism at the CPS, says each man is charged with one offense under the Terrorism Act 2000. They are set to appear later Wednesday at Westminster Magistrates Court.

Choudary is the former leader of a banned radical group called al-Muhajiroun.
