Summary Choudary and his co-accused, Mohammed Rahman, deny charges of inviting support for IS

LONDON (AFP) - A British court on Monday postponed the trial of radical preacher Anjem Choudary until March.

Choudary and his co-accused, Mohammed Rahman, deny charges of inviting support for the Islamic State group, which is banned under UK anti-terror laws.

His trial is set to be heard at London s Old Bailey, the central criminal court for England.

The case is scheduled to take three to four weeks.

Choudary, 48, of Ilford, east of London and Rahman, 32, of Whitechapel in east London, are on bail with a number of conditions.
