Radical cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed threatens Syria with a wave of suicide bombs
Omar Bakri Mohammed, the radical cleric banned from Britain for glorifying terrorism, has told The Daily Telegraph from his base in the Middle East that al-Qaida is poised to wage war against the Syrian regime.
Bakri, once nicknamed the Tottenham Ayatollah, said hard-line Salafi Muslim groups, including al-Qaida, and his al-Ghuraba group were ready to help their "Muslim brothers" with a campaign of suicide attacks against Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president. "In two or three operations, [al-Qaida] can make the Ba'ath party run away," he said.

Speaking from his new home in Lebanon, the self-styled cleric, who caused controversy after the 2005 London bombings by blaming them on the Government and British public, called the wave of pro-democracy revolutions that swept the Middle East in the past year, "al-Qaida's victory".
