SKY NEWS: The radical cleric Anjem Choudary has told Sky News his group is still planning a protest on the day of the Royal Wedding, despite being banned from demonstrating near Westminster Abbey.It was revealed on Tuesday that the Metropolitan Police turned down a formal request by the group Muslims Against Crusades, saying they would not allow extremists to turn the occasion into a "nightmare".
But now the cleric has confirmed two of his group's supporters plan to meet police on Thursday to renew efforts to conduct a protest as close to the Royal procession route as possible.
Although senior officers denied permission for a demonstration near the Abbey, they have little in the way of powers to stop protests elsewhere in the capital. » | Mark White, home affairs correspondent | Wednesday, April 20, 2011
