Two men who were under criminal investigation have absconded from the UK intending to join jihadists in Syria, the BBC has learned.
One - Junaid Hussain of Birmingham - left the UK while on bail pending investigation for violent disorder.
The other, Abu Aziz from Luton, has been convicted in his absence of an attack on a member of the public.
Aziz is an associate of Anjem Choudary, the high-profile former leader of a group banned under terrorism laws.
