Filmmakers Adel Khan Farooq and Ulrik Rolfson gained unprecedented access to Hussain’s inner circle for their documentary Recruiting for Jihad.

In the documentary, Hussain and his pals are picked up from the airport in person by Choudary, before travelling to one of his lectures on radical Islamic values.

The group then hit the streets of North London to preach their warped message, with Hussain ending the visit by saying he will take what he learned back to Norway.

Choudary was jailed for five-and-a-half years in September 2016, while Hussain was handed a nine-year sentence in his home country last month.

he believes the meeting in the documentary could have played a key role in their being caught.

He said: “This meeting will have triggered all sorts of alarm bells.

“And now both of these men are in prison in their respective countries.

“It is quite plausible that intelligence picked up by this contact played a part in that.”

Recruiting for Jihad had its international premiere in Toronto last week.
