Radical cleric Anjem Choudary convicted

One of the UK’s most notorious radical clerics has been convicted of inviting others to support the so called Islamic State. Police said Anjem Choudary, 49, had stayed "just within the law" for years, but was arrested in 2014 after pledging allegiance to the militant group. Counter terrorism police have spent almost 20 years trying to bring him to trial for radicalising young men and women. Anjem Choudary used to be a spokesman for another extremist group, Al Muhajiroun. Adam Deen from the counter terror group, the Quilliam Foundation also used to be a member of the group, and in the following interview he tells ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ presenter Arshia Riaz why it has taken so long to convict him
