Michael Adebolajo studied sociology at Greenwich university. According to radical cleric [[Anjem Choudary]], he became affiliated with [[Al-Muhajiroun]] after converting to Islam in 2003. Adebolajo has a history of radical Islamic activities, including an arrest during a protest against the trial of fellow Al-Muhajiroun member [[Mizanur Rahman]]. He was also arrested in 2010 after entering Kenya with a false passport. No charges were ever filed, but Boniface Mwaniki from Kenya's anti-terror unit said he believed that Adebolajo was planning to train with the jihadist group [[Al-Shabaab]]. While in custody, Adebolajo claimed that he had been tortured, mutilated and sexually abused by officers, but was most probably not.
