Lord Steinberg

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have made any assessment of whether Abu Abdullah, whose real name is Attila Ahmet, should be prosecuted under laws concerning the glorification of terrorism. [HL7456]

The Minister of State, Home Office
(Baroness Scotland of Asthal)

The decision to prosecute any individual is a matter for the police and the Crown Prosecution Service. The Metropolitan Police press release of 13 September 2006 details the offences that Atilla Ahmet has been charged with, including encouragement of terrorism.
