A website offering young Muslims the chance to learn about explosives and the "art of bone breaking" has been shut under a new British crackdown on Islamic extremists.
Police sources said yesterday that the closure of the London-based Sakina Securities website (www.sakina.fsbusiness.co.uk) came after the arrest on Monday of one of
its instructors on terrorism charges.
The 43-year-old alleged Sakina instructor - whom police refuse to name - is one of two men being held on terrorism charges in Britain as it tightens the net on militants.
Along with the Sakina instructor, police have detained Algerian pilot Lotfi Raissi, who is accused by the FBI of teaching the hijackers to fly the planes that crashed into US landmarks last month. Raissi was due to appear in a London court overnight.
Another Algerian, arrested in central England in connection with planned terror attacks in France and Belgium, was extradited to France last week.
All those arrested were charged under new anti-terrorism laws that came into effect in February.
