After those attacks, the British government passed a raft of counterterrorism laws and embarked on a crackdown against Islamic extremists. But on Monday, a co-founder of al-Muhajiroun, Anjem Choudary, was photographed near his East London home wearing a long white robe and a black electronic ankle tag. Having served their time, many members of Choudary’s old network are being released from detention. According to former members, areas where the network is regrouping include East London; Luton, a town north of the British capital; and the surrounding county of Bedfordshire. Many of the senior activists of the network who are now regrouping were monitored under the government’s Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures Act of 2011.
