Babar Ahmad: 'I didn't knowingly support Bin Laden'

A British man jailed over a website considered to be a key moment in the birth of the internet jihad says he had "not knowingly" supported Osama Bin Laden.

In his first broadcast interview, to the Victoria Derbyshire programme, Babar Ahmad, 41, said he had been naive to support the Taliban in Afghanistan at the time.

Ahmad was jailed in the US in 2014 after fighting a record eight-year campaign against extradition.
