Imam ‘killed over magic’
TWO ISIS supporters murdered an imam who carried out Islamic healing because they believed it was black magic, a court heard.
Mohammed Kadir, 24, and Mohammed Syeedy, 22, attacked Jalal Uddin, 71.
Paul Greaney QC, prosecuting, said Mr Kadir practised Ruqya, which “IS regards as black magic”. Kadir left the UK. Syeedy, of Rochdale, denies murder.
The Manchester crown court trial continues.
