Britain's Conservatives suspend candidate over far-right plot claims
None
Britain's ruling Conservatives have suspended a Muslim candidate in a key seat following allegations he plotted with the far right English Defence League (EDL) to stir up racial tension to help win votes in May's election.
Afzal Amin, a parliamentary candidate in Dudley North in central England, was shown in video footage and telephone recordings obtained by the Mail on Sunday newspaper trying to persuade the EDL to announce a march against a new mosque in the area.
Amin then allegedly planned to take the credit for brokering the suspension of the protest.
A spokesman for the Conservative Party said Amin had been suspended with immediate effect, pending an investigation.
