A radical Islamic activist made famous by his live on-air heckling of the British home secretary a few years ago has turned himself in after being charged with fund-raising for terrorism.

A terror fund-raiser has handed himself into police after jumping bail for 10 days during his trial.

Shah Jalal Hussain, 25, was found guilty of terrorist fund-raising on Thursday and will be sentenced alongside five other men shortly.

He surrendered at Kingston Crown Court a day after his conviction and was arrested by police.

He had been given bail but went missing from his home when the jury began deliberations on 8 April.

I thought Abu Izzadeen was the one who heckled the home secretary not Shah Jalal Hussain he is the only one "famous" for it. According to the report below Abu Izzadeen was remanded in custody nearly a year ago.

Outspoken Muslim Abu Izzadeen has been remanded in custody after appearing in court charged with offences related to terrorism.

Izzadeen, a former electrician who lives with his wife and three children in east London, is perhaps best known for his barracking of Home Secretary John Reid during a speech to British Muslims last September.
