Abu Abdullah, an associate of Abu Hamza, the jailed British-based hook-handed cleric, boasted in an interview last week how he would "love" to kill British troops in Afghanistan and warned of future terrorist attacks in Britain.

The raid on his house formed part of a long-term operation by Scotland Yard and MI5 targeting suspects allegedly involved in the recruitment and grooming of young British Muslims for martyrdom operations abroad and possibly at home.

The 14 arrests were made in co-ordinated raids at the weekend.
Police also cordoned off an independent Islamic school in Crowborough, East Sussex, south of London, which had regularly hosted camping weekends for Muslim youths.

The school had reportedly been used by Hamza and his followers for physical and spiritual training exercises.
Forensic experts searched Mr Abdullah's terraced home in Bromley, south London, while police stood guard outside.
