ALM

The one-year experiment of Tajh Ariza playing for his father’s alm mater, Westchester High, has ended.

Choudary was accused of holding the leadership of ALM from 2014 until possibly as late as July 2023 - but the charges from this second trial concern events after the terms of his sentence ended in 2021.

Mr Little said that ITS was the same organisation as ALM and the meetings had been infiltrated by undercover officers.

That was a reference to the 2013 murder of Lee Rigby, a soldier killed by two of ALM’s supporters, just a few miles from the south London court where Choudary has now been convicted.

“It spans agencies, it spans countries, it spans an ocean. ALM has had a big footprint in the UK… but in New York City, we've seen a number of individuals who have been arrested, convicted on terrorism charges for involvement with ITS-ALM branch in New York. And having that footprint means that collectively we work together and we spend significant resources to address public safety.”
