The Tunisian head of Britain’s most popular Muslim television station, the Islam Channel, was freed by a South African court on Tuesday (January 26th) after being detained since last week-end on a nearly two-decade-old Interpol arrest warrant, international press reported on Tuesday (January 26th). Mohamed Ali Harrath, 46, now a UK resident, also works as a Scotland Yard adviser against Islamic extremism. As a young man, he co-founded the Tunisian Islamic Front (FIT). He was sentenced in absentia on terrorism charges by a Tunisian court before being granted political asylum in the UK. Interpol placed a "red alert" on Harrath in 1992.
