Fury as ISIS terrorist living in £300,000 three-bed council flat
Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, a former associate of Anjem Choudary who was convicted of supporting Islamic State, is reportedly living in a subsidised three-bedroom London flat valued at £300,000. The article says he is also posting religious material for teenagers on TikTok, prompting renewed concern about his influence and potential security risks.
Rahman, 43, received a four-year sentence in 2007 for comments about British soldiers and a five-and-a-half-year sentence in 2016 after pledging allegiance to Islamic State. He now works as an accountant and runs a cultural education consultancy, while publishing books under the name Abu Baraa; one book is described as encouraging jihad training and restricting women’s freedom. Security expert Anthony Glees called Rahman a serious national security threat and urged counter-terrorism police to act.
