An Islamic school in Britain that has been operating for more than three years, and was the target of an anti-terror raid last September, has finally been shut down.
An Islamic school which was raided by anti-terror police as a suspected jihad training school has been ordered to shut down by education bosses.
The Jameah Islameah school near Crowborough on the Kent and Sussex border was raided by more than 100 anti-terror officers on September 1 last year after a lengthy surveillance operation by the security services.
The independent school, which is set in 54 acres of countryside and is worth 3 million, was targeted after the arrest of 14 terror suspects in London the same day.
Scotland Yard linked the school search with the terror raids when 12 people were arrested at a London restaurant and two others were held elsewhere in the city.
The 100-room school, which was visited by jailed radical cleric Abu Hamza , was founded in September, 2003.
