Siddhartha Dhar, who’s close to Choudary and marched in his pro-Sharia events, was arrested in that September bust on suspicion of encouraging terrorism. He jumped bail and fled to the Islamic State with his pregnant wife, who later gave birth to a boy. He’s since been writing ISIS publications to lure other Westerners there.
