Islamic extremists who incite violence or praise suicide attacks in Britain could face charges of treason, it emerged yesterday.
The head of the anti-terrorism department at the Crown Prosecution Service will meet senior officers at Scotland Yard this week to discuss what charges could be brought against preachers whose endorsement of the suicide attacks could incite further acts of terrorism.
The charges the Crown Prosecution Service will consider include the offences of treason, incitement to treason, solicitation of murder and incitement to withhold information known to be of use to police. These offences include attacks made against British interests abroad as well as at home. The charges can be brought against foreign nationals resident in Britain as well as British citizens.
