A leading figure in "a close group of Islamic extremists based in north London" must be moved out of the capital to protect the public, the high court has ruled.

The dual British and Nigerian national, who is subject to a control order and can only be referred to as CD, has attempted to obtain firearms for a terrorist attack, according to security services.

CD was reported to have attended a training camp in Cumbria in 2004 organised by Mohammed Hamid, who was convicted of training terrorists for the unsuccessful 21 July 2005 London bombing.

He had also undertaken extremist training in Syria in late 2005 and returned to the UK in April 2009.
