The City of Canterbury Bankstown Council will move to shut down what it says is an illegal prayer hall run by notorious Islamic preacher Wissam Haddad.
According to council records, Al Madina Dawah Centre had never been approved to run as a prayer hall, instead only receiving approval to operate as a medical centre.
Through a lawyer, Haddad says he “vehemently denies any knowledge of, or involvement in, the shootings that took place at Bondi Beach.”
