Omar Bakri Mohammed does a bunk

Omar Bakri Mohammed, the "cleric" who supported muslims attacking British troops in Afghanistan and the people behind the 7th July bombings in London, has done a moonlight flit to Lebanon.

Bakri was born in Syria but later moved to the UK where he preached the usual diatribe against the infidels in the west whilst enjoying the benefits of western society in the way of civil liberties and of course, the welfare state.

The Tottenham Taliban, as he was known in his former home town, was claiming unemployment benefits, disability benefits, had a Motability car and lived in a £200k housing association home with his wife and 7 kids (who he has left behind).

The reason he did a runner was apparently because the police were about to launch an investigation into him and there was a possibility he would face treason charges. The only alternative reason offered is by the Sun who suggested that it was because they hounded him out of the country. Our saviours.
