Jeremy Corbyn Says He Does Not Know Controversial Muslim Activist Despite Being Photographed Together

Jeremy Corbyn denied knowing a controversial Muslim activist that he was pictured sat next to in Parliament, and said any suggestion he holds anti-Semitic views are "appalling, disgusting and deeply offensive". During an interview with the BBC's World At One, the Labour leadership frontrunner was asked about a Daily Mail story claiming he met Dyab Abou Jahjah, a former Hezbollah fighter, in 2009.


Abou Jahjah has said attacks on British soldiers are legitimate. Mr Corbyn said he had never heard of the Lebanon-born activist, despite a photograph suggesting otherwise, but this evening suggested his team had jogged his memory.
Abou Jahjah has today written a blog about his links to the North Islington MP, explaining how they met and repeating his claims that British soliders in Iraq are a "legitimate target for resistance". But when pressed on the BBC programme, Mr Corbyn said: "Sorry, who? ... I saw the name this morning and I asked somebody who is he?"
