A new report reveals the radical cleric incites his army of British fanatics to take up arms with Lewthwaite’s jihadists in Somalia.

And Lewthwaite – on the run after the Kenya mall massacre – supports Choudary, 46, by praising him online, it says.

Choudary has sparked fury in Britain for burning poppies and urging Muslims to milk Britain’s benefits system. Meanwhile, Lewthwaite, 29, spouts extremism on a Twitter feed claiming links to terror groups al-Shabaab and al-Qaida.

She tweeted: “When Anjem Choudary speaks, so-called ‘moderate Muslims’ start to sweat & tremble.”

Another message said: “Anjem Choudary remains a noble & brave Muslim who speaks his mind & fears Allah like a pious Muslim should do.”

Former BBC Panorama and ITV World In Action investigator Nick Lowles uncovered the links between the radical pair.

He said: “Too many people dismiss Anjem Choudary as a clown but this report reveals the true extent of his group’s links to terrorism at home and abroad.”
