| A Muslim preacher has been arrested in east London over allegations of encouraging terrorism. | |
| Abu Izzadeen was held by in Leyton High Road by counter-terrorism officers, Scotland Yard said. | |
| He hit the headlines last September after heckling Home Secretary John Reid but it is understood the inquiry is related to a 2006 speech in Birmingham. | |
| Mr Izzadeen is being held at a central London police station under Section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2006. | |
| Second heckler | |
| In September, Mr Izzadeen, who was born Trevor Brooks, interrupted Mr Reid's speech at the public meeting in Leytonstone. | |
| Mr Reid asked Muslim parents to keep a close eye on their children and act if they suspected they were being radicalised by extremists. | |
| Mr Izzadeen shouted out: "Shame on all of us for sitting down and listening to him." | |
| He said he was "furious" about "state terrorism by British police" and accused the minister of being an "enemy" of Islam before being led from the building by police and stewards. | |
| A second heckler, who also interrupted Mr Reid's speech, was ejected a few minutes later. |
