It follows pressure from residents in Haringey and the local police, who have become increasingly concerned about the power of the Turkish heroin traffickers.In one of the London's biggest series of raids about 550 Scotland Yard officers, including members of the Metropolitan Police's firearms unit and Turkish speaking detectives, targeted 15 properties in the boroughs of Haringey, Harrow and Hackney, throughout the night.In one raid armed police from Scotland Yard's SO19 firearms squad helped arrest two Kurdish men suspected of being part of the crime family.The target for the raid was a £750,000 detached house in Edgware, north-west London.

"All our intelligence suggests that these are very big players in terms of criminality in London and internationally.

Our intelligence suggests they are involved in major international heroin trafficking."Several members of the Turkish crime family have already been jailed, but the network continues to use its links with Afghanistan, Turkey, and the Netherlands to smuggle in heroin. Turkish criminals are thought to be responsible for up to 90 per cent of the heroin brought into the UK.Much of the violence in the turf wars is blamed on young second-generation Turks who carry out extortion and intimidation. They are known as bombacilars, which means "bomb makers".Superintendent Mark Ricketts said that since the Gulf War, Kurdish and Turkish immigration and movement of business interests into the same area had "created tension between the two groups".In July last year two gangs of gunmen fought outside Wood Green police station, firing 20 shots in a busy thoroughfare at 2pm on a Friday afternoon.

A Muslim cleric motivated by "hatred and intolerance" toured Britain for four years exhorting followers to murder Jews, Hindus and Westerners using bombs, chemicals and nuclear weapons, the Old Bailey was told yesterday. In one tape, entitled Jihad and showing a tank straddled by a soldier holding a gun on the cover, Mr el-Faisal is heard to call America "the Great Satan" and say Allah had ordered the murder of all kuffars, or non-believers.The cleric tells his audience: "This is how wonderful it is kill a kuffar: You crawl on his back and while you are pushing him down into the hell fire, you are going into paradise."Justifying use of a nuclear bomb on India, the cleric is said to have told one audience: "Use the bodies of unbelievers to run power stations by incinerating them."David Perry, for the prosecution, said: "The plain ordinary and simple meaning of the words used by the defendant was to exhort his audience to kill and terrorise the unbeliever. What is noticeably absent from these talks are expressions of love, hope, charity, compassion or pity. We say he was preaching hatred and intolerance." The cleric, arrested last February, denies five charges of soliciting murder and two counts of inciting racial hatred. He came to Britain in the early Nineties after leaving Jamaica to study Islam in Riyadh. Mr el-Faisal was born William Forest and raised as a Christian.
