A Radical Muslim intellectual was deported from Botswana because of allegations that he was trying to convert young Muslims to become suicide bombers, to target the 2010 World Cup.
Furthermore Sheik Abdullah Faisal has strong ties to South Africa.
The Sunday Standard, a newspaper in Gaborone, Botswana has reported that its intelligence sources confirmed that the police in Botswana conducted two investigations of his terrorist training camps outside Lobatse. The recruits apparently received spiritual leadership training from El-Faisal.
El-Faisal is a controversial figure on the international terror watch list.
He was deported from the UK in 2007 after he was convicted of hate speech and incitement to violence, and served four years in jail. He preached that Hindus, Jews and Americans should be killed.
El Faisal was in the spotlight this month after it came to light that the Nigerian student Abdulmutallab Umar Farouk, also known as the Christmas Day crotchbomber, who tried to blow up a plane to Detroit, had been under the influence of El Faisal.Read more »
