Britain said Friday it has barred cleric Omar Bakri from returning to the country from Lebanon, where he was released by police after being detained for 24 hours.
A British-based radical Muslim cleric who praised the July 7 terror attacks on London's transport system has been detained by Lebanese security forces, according to a Lebanese army general.
The Muslim cleric who last year predicted that al Qaeda would attack London said Wednesday that the British government was partly responsible for the July 7 attacks that killed 56 people.
