UK Muslim leader refused entry to US
(Filed: 15/07/2005)

A prominent British Muslim leader was refused entry to the United States with no explanation, just days after the London bombings, it has emerged.

Dr Zaki Badawi, head of the Muslim College, flew from London to New York on Wednesday but said he was denied entry and forced to return home.

He had been due to give a talk entitled The Law and Religion in Society at the Chautauqua Institution in New York.

The US Customs and Border Protection office said Dr Badawi had been refused entry to the country based on information indicating that he was "inadmissible".
