Plan to build Britain's biggest mosque blocked

Plans to build a "super-mosque" next to the site for the 2012 Olympic Games in London have collapsed and the Islamic group behind the project will be evicted later this week, a London council responsible for the district said Monday.
Newham Council in east London said the group Tablighi Jamaat, which has been operating a temporary mosque on the land in question since 2006, had been asked to leave the land by Thursday. The group's failure to submit a master plan for the site by the required deadline in January meant that the scheme was blocked, said the council.
