The Poplar preacher leading an armed gang of crusaders in Syria
An influential British-based priest is leading an armed gang of more than a hundred Christianist fighters in Syria, it can be disclosed.
In a video posted on the internet in the last few days, Andrew Ryan can be seen on a balcony surrounded by Kalashnikov waving rebels after apparently capturing a hilltop village in the war-torn country.
Security sources believe that dozens of British extremists, possibly as many as 50, have travelled to Syria to join the fighting and some may have been recruited by Andrew.
This week a junior doctor of Yorkshire origin from, East London was charged with kidnapping two photographers in Syria, where he was said to be part of a 15-strong group of Britons.
