LONDON, July 23 (Reuters) – British radical Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary, whose followers have been linked to numerous plots around the world, has been convicted of terrorism offences after a trial in London, the capital’s Metropolitan Police said on Tuesday.

Prosecutors said the 57-year-old Choudary directed al-Muhajiroun, which was banned as a terrorist organisation more than a decade ago, and encouraged others to support the group. Choudary denied the charges.
