AN anti-Semitic Arab extremist who dubbed the 9/11 attacks “sweet revenge” is a “friend” of Jeremy Corbyn.
Labour’s leadership front runner invited Belgian Dyab Abou Jahjah to a meeting at the Commons in 2009.
Mr Corbyn also spoke at an anti-war rally with Abou Jahjah in London.
It came after the Lebanese-born Muslim activist, now banned from the UK, spent a decade stirring up hate.
During the Iraq war in 2004, he said he “considers every dead Dutch, British and US soldier a victory”.
He referred to gay people as “Aids spreading f****ts”, and has also caused uproar by publishing anti-Jewish cartoons.
Two weeks ago he tweeted: “My friend Jeremy Corbyn is making them nervous already. They are trying to ridicule his ideas.”
Sun columnist and ex-Tory MP Louise Mensch, who exposed Jahjah’s links with Mr Corbyn, said: “The vicious, racist statements Abou Jahjah wrote were public knowledge when Corbyn invited him into our Parliament.”
Mr Corbyn’s spokeswoman said: “This is an attempt to smear Jeremy by association.”
