Excerpt:
A leading member of the Muslim Council of Britain is suing cabinet minister Hazel Blears for defamation, following a row over the Israeli bombing of Gaza.
Dr Daud Abdullah, who is the MCB deputy secretary-general, is seeking damages.
Ms Blears said a document which Dr Abdullah signed on hostilities in Gaza had advocated attacks on UK military personnel and on Jews around the world.
Ms Blears made the claim in a letter to the Guardian last week, but Dr Abdullah has vehemently denied it.
