Jalal Uddin: Imam 'murdered by IS supporters' over 'black magic' healing

Two supporters of the so-called Islamic State group murdered an imam because they viewed his practice of Islamic healing as "black magic", a jury heard.
Jalal Uddin, 71, died after suffering head injuries in an attack in a children's play area in Rochdale.

Mohammed Hussain Syeedy, 22, and Mohammed Abdul Kadir, 24, were said to have developed "a hatred" of Mr Uddin, Manchester Crown Court heard.
Mr Syeedy, of Ramsay Street, Rochdale, denies murder with another.

The jury was told Mr Kadir fled abroad in the days that followed Mr Uddin's death, on 18 February.

The prosecution claims the Bangladeshi national was targeted after he left a mosque where he usually prayed, ate a meal at a friend's house and then walked home.
Mr Syeedy and Mr Kadir were said to have taken offence after discovering he practised Ruqya healing, which involves the use of amulets.
