POLICE yesterday rushed to the home of hate preacher Anjem Choudary — to protect him and his family.
Officers helped them flee their home and go into hiding amid fears they could be attacked by a mob seeking vengeance for the murder of soldier Lee Rigby.
Choudary’s wife and children were driven away under police escort to a secret address, while officers were left to guard the house.
There was no sign of Choudary himself, and a neighbour said he had been seen slipping out early yesterday morning.
Protection ... cops at Choudary home yesterday
The operation in East London began just after 2pm, when two male officers took up position yards from Choudary’s front door. An hour later they were joined by two female officers in a van.
Officers spent 40 minutes going in and out of the house before an unmarked car arrived.
Eventually two women — one of them believed to be Choudary’s wife — emerged from the house carrying bags and cots. They walked three kids to the car before being driven off. Minutes later one of them returned for more luggage, indicating they could away for some time.
Police refused to reveal details of the carefully planned operation. It is believed the move was made following threats to Choudary.
A group calling itself Britain First posted a ranting video online, saying police had until 6pm yesterday to arrest Choudary — or they would seize him themselves.
The group claimed to know Choudary’s address. A security source familiar with the operation said: “The police have gone there to maintain public order and protect the family. The officers will probably be there for the night and then be gone.”
Guarding the house around the clock would cost the Met £10,000 a week.
