'Islamists' hit Galloway meeting

A group of suspected Islamists have attacked a meeting of George Galloway's Respect party in Bethnal Green and Bow. Police said there were reports 20-30 Asian men had disrupted the meeting and there had then been a fracas outside.

Respect said the men had threatened Mr Galloway's life and talked of a fatwa. After the meeting a man was knocked to the ground and police arrested three.

The alleged attack on Mr Galloway's meeting at about 2100 BST on Tuesday on the Osier estate comes during an already bitter campaign, and hours after a Muslim Council of Britain event was also disrupted.

Meanwhile, A spokesman for Oona King said the candidate had been shouted at by a large group of Bengali youths wearing Respect badges or stickers while campaigning on an estate in the constituency on Saturday.

Kester Dean said: "They were shouting 'Bush and Blair murderers' and 'get out of our estate'. The car was covered in eggs."

He blamed the attack on the "poisonous atmosphere" generated in the campaign so far.
