Fox News reporter denies duping London mosque

http://tinyurl.com/lgkxa

LONDON, Aug 14 (Reuters) - A Fox News reporter, responding to accusations he misrepresented himself as a Vatican offical to an east London mosque used by suspects in a foiled plot to blow up planes, said on Monday he had identified himself clearly.

Mohammed Shoyaib, imam of the Masjid-e-Umer mosque in Walthamstow, told Britain's Guardian newspaper that Father Jonathan Morris, a Fox News religion reporter, introduced himself as a Rome-based priest working for peace in the world.

"Only later he said he was from 'a sister network of Sky News' but never mentioned Fox," the imam said, according to the newspaper. "We would never have spoken to him if we had known," Shoyaib said. "We've been tricked."
