LONDON (Reuters):

A Jamaican-born man was among six Muslims slapped with terrorism charges yesterday, British police said.

Four of the group, including Abu Izzadeen (born Trevor Brooks in Jamaica), who was seen by millions on television last year heckling Home Secretary John Reid, were also charged with inciting terrorism overseas and raising funds for a terrorist organisation.

The men are due to appear before magistrates in London today, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

They were arrested in dawn raids last Tuesday.

Others charged

The other men charged are Shal Jalal Hussein, Omar Zaheer, Simon Keeler, Ibrahim Abdullah Hassan, and Rajib Khan, 28, all of London addresses.

Keeler, Hassan and Khan, along with Izzadeen, face the additional charge of inciting terrorism abroad.

Izzadeen shot to prominence when he shouted down Reid as he tried to give a speech to Muslim leaders last September urging them to root out extremism.

He has not been accused of any crime on acount that outburst, but was charged by police earlier this year with encouraging terrorism during a speech he gave in Birmingham in 2006.
